COUNTABLE LABS GRANT PROGRAM

The Billionaire Grant

Countable PCR puts a billion to work for your next breakthrough in human health and disease detection

Apply here

A billion at work for you

Move your research forward with Countable PCR — the cutting-edge PCR technology that delivers a new standard of precision and sensitivity that qPCR and digital PCR can't touch.

Every Countable PCR reaction generates 30 million compartments. With that many compartments, it's easy to physically isolate single molecules — making detection and counting simple, direct, and precise.

With a fully-loaded Countable PCR run, over a billion compartments are within your grasp — and ready to accelerate your next breakthrough.

Be a Billionaire

Think big — in billions!

Your work matters. But funding is tight and unpredictable. Now you have a billion behind you.

The Billionaire Grant puts the cutting-edge PCR solution in your hands — so you continue publishing and keep discovering. 

With Countable PCR, you unlock over a billion compartments, each one with single-molecule PCR reactions — that are ready to work for you.
