The SHARD DIAGNOSTICS™ design process

Step 1: Initial consultation

OpenClose

Our process begins with a comprehensive consultation to understand your unique needs. During this phase, our experts will:

Discuss your research goals and objectives.
Identify the specific target sequences and sample types you are working with.
Gather detailed information about any special requirements or constraints.

This thorough understanding allows us to tailor a qPCR kit that perfectly aligns with your research needs.

Step 2: Custom design

OpenClose

Based on the insights gathered during the consultation, our team of experienced scientists will design a custom qPCR kit. This step involves:

Selecting the optimal primers and probes for high specificity and sensitivity.
Choosing the best reagent conditions for your assay to maximize performance.
Designing the kit components to be user-friendly.

Our design process is meticulous, ensuring that every element of the kit is optimized for your specific application.
