Microplate PCR Seals & PCR Thermal Cyclers
The most common form of testing for COVID-19, is collecting sputum from a throat or nasal swab and conducting a polymerase chain reaction, also known as PCR. From there, the samples are sent to a lab to detect traces of viral RNA.
These test kits were among the shortage of medical supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic and are the first step to identifying if Coronavirus is present. The kits are composed of PCR plates, tubes & caps, seals, and accessories.
Long term exposure to the elements and various environmental impacts expose medical supplies and devices to a multitude of contaminants that can impact the safety, efficiency, reliability, purity, and life cycle of the device or its components. Boyd has decades of expertise in engineering die-cut, PCR plate seals designed to minimize the impact of unwanted contaminants specific to PCR trays.
PCR Thermal Cyclers amplify DNA by regulating temperature in cyclical programs. It is essential that these PCR devices analyze the data quickly and reliably. Boyd provides technologies specific to these devices includes Noise Vibration damping Thermal Insulation and more.
