Affordable, High-Performance Genotyping for Vegetable Crops
Unlock Better Varieties with PACE® by 3CR
Vegetable breeding plays a crucial role in global food and nutrition security. With increasing demand for resilient, high-quality crops that meet both consumer expectations and producer needs, breeders require genotyping solutions that are accurate, scalable, and cost-effective.
At 3CR, we help breeders and researchers overcome these challenges. Our patented PACE® (PCR Allelic Competitive Extension) chemistry provides reliable, high-throughput SNP genotyping that supports marker-assisted selection, trait mapping, and variety verification in vegetables. By making SNP genotyping more affordable, PACE® enables faster delivery of improved varieties to the market.
