The global fruit industry faces constant challenges: climate change, emerging pests and diseases, changing consumer preferences, and the need for sustainable production. To meet these demands, breeders and researchers rely on precise, scalable genotyping tools that accelerate the development of improved varieties.
3CR delivers exactly that. Our patented PACE® (PCR Allelic Competitive Extension) chemistry provides affordable, high-throughput SNP genotyping that empowers fruit breeders to make data-driven decisions. From disease resistance and yield to flavour and shelf life, PACE® helps unlock the genetic potential of fruit crops worldwide.
Breeding programmes and research institutes trust PACE® because it offers:
PACE® Multiplex enables up to four SNPs per reaction. This reduces sample requirements, consumable use, and labour while boosting throughput.
