SuperBDNA™ Technology
SuperbDNA™ technology uses branched DNA to qualitatively or quantitatively measure the presence of target DNA or RNA. Unlike PCR or RT-PCR, SuperbDNA™ technology does not amplify the DNA or RNA in the samples, rather amplifies the signals for detection. Because the amplified signal is proportional to the levels of the target (DNA or RNA) in the samples, the latter is easy to be quantified with a standard curve. SuperbDNA™ technology has been used in FDA-approved clinical applications, including prognosis and monitoring of patients with viral diseases.
