Molecular diagnostics plays an increasingly important role in medicine for the detection of genetic diseases, the monitoring of the effectiveness of anti-cancer therapy, and in the fight against aggressive bacterial infections. Curiosity Diagnostics (CD), a company belonging to the Scope Fluidics group, has developed a new technique for DNA analysis: synergistic PCR (sPCR). The method, described in detail in the joint publication of CD and IPC PAS researchers in Scientific Reports combines the advantages of two of today`s most popular genetic code analysis techniques and can be carried out on widely available instruments.
