From academic labs to biotech start-ups, life science research depends on reliable molecular tools. SNP genotyping is essential across areas like disease research, functional genomics, biomarker discovery, and translational studies. But traditional probe-based technologies can be expensive, limiting the scale and pace of scientific progress.
At 3CR, we believe in Making Science Affordable. Our patented PACE® (PCR Allelic Competitive Extension) chemistry provides a powerful, cost-effective SNP genotyping solution for life science applications. Designed for high-throughput PCR, PACE® delivers accuracy, reproducibility, and flexibility — enabling researchers to run more samples, explore more targets, and push innovation further.
With mix purchase in the last 24 months, 3CR provides free assay design. Simply provide your SNP or target sequence, and we’ll deliver primer sequences ready for synthesis.
