TRCRapid-160
TRCR Technology
(Transcription Reverse transcription Concerted reaction) and INAF Probe (INtercalation Activating Fluorescence probe) achieves real time, one step, rapid and efficient detection of RNA.
In the TRC method, RNA is amplified isothermally. The INAF probe is a DNA oligonucleotide with which an intercalative fluorescence dye is linked, and of which the sequence is complementary to that of the target RNA
