Bioline Introduces New SensiFAST™ HRM Kit For Gene Mutations And SNP Analysis

Bioline, The PCR Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Meridian Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIVO), is proud to announce the latest addition to its SensiFAST family real-time PCR products.

SensiFAST HRM Kit facilitates High Resolution Melt (HRM) curve analysis, enabling amplification and discrimination of even the most challenging sequence differences (such as class 4 SNPs) without sequence preference. SensiFAST HRM is designed to deliver fast, accurate detection of gene mutations and SNPs and provides reliable and highly reproducible data on all commonly used real-time PCR instruments, especially the new generation of fast-cyclers. Since SensiFAST HRM does not require expensive labeled oligonucleotide probes, it is a cost-effective alternative to traditional probe based genotyping methods.

Marco Calzavara, President of Bioline commented, "I am delighted to announce the release of SensiFAST HRM as a new member of our real-time PCR-based SensiFAST family. This new kit will enable researchers to cost-effectively scan DNA from a variety of biological sample types to detect the smallest genetic variations among samples.”

Richard L. Eberly, Chief Commercial Officer of Meridian Bioscience, Inc., stated, “The release of SensiFAST HRM Kit is part of a new generation of products to advance the rapidly expanding portfolio of highly specialized molecular biology reagents from Bioline. We remain committed to our life science customers to bring innovation and quality products to the research lab, clinical diagnostic laboratories, and biotechnology companies.”
