Countable PCR for DNA

PCR without the complexity.

Single-molecule DNA counting in a familiar PCR workflow—with fully automated data analysis and a broad dynamic range.

The new standard in PCR performance.

True quantification

Direct molecular counting enables precise measurements with consistently low CVs

Superior sensitivity

Resolve alleles down to 0.004% MAF while maintaining linear performance across a wide dynamic range

Effortless multiplexing

Rapidly develop multiplex assays, saving valuable time and resources

Seamless compatibility

Use existing probes, no assay redesign needed

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have pre-designed panels or assays?

Yes - we have Pre-designed Assays that include expert-verified protocols and performance data for commonly tested targets. We are continually adding new assays to our menu.

Do I need to redesign my assay for Countable PCR?

It is simple to transition existing hydrolysis probe-based assays to Countable PCR - your existing probes and primers can be used directly, although we do recommend including a probe additive to reduce background signal. Learn more here.

Does the Countable System automatically calculate absolute molecule counts?

Yes. The software automatically detects and counts target molecules from the 3D light sheet images for every sample and target. In addition, every run produces a QC report in a 21 CFR Part 11–compliant format, supporting GMP-ready traceability.

Which dyes are supported?

It will depend on which Countable System is used for analysis. You can see which dyes are supported on the instrument pages for Countable 4 and Countable 10.
