Push your work beyond today’s limits
Your research questions remain unanswered — not because of imagination or effort — but because current genomics tools can’t deliver what you need.
The Make it Count Grant helps change that, so you push your work forward.
You get access to Countable PCR — cutting-edge PCR technology that delivers a new standard of sensitivity and multiplexing capabilities that qPCR and digital PCR can't touch.
Now you get clear results and the highest-quality data that’s ready for your next publication or budget submission.
