Hettich Lab Technology designs, engineers, and manufactures a comprehensive line of cell culture processing equipment that delivers repeatable results for a variety of workflow requirements.

Your samples and products are important to the world; valuable research specimens, and cultures may be irreplaceable once lost. 

Digital PCR (dPCR) is a gene amplification method particularly suited to detecting and quantifying rare genes.

 Engineers develop a mathematical model to simulate the freezing process in the presence of cryoprotectants and identify a way to minimize damage

87 percent of laboratory staff globally have at least one cell culture contamination event per year

Learn the most common handler types, and more in the results of our 2015 survey on this key microplate technology

A way to best prepare samples for long-term storage at ultra-low temperatures

As one might imagine, cryopreservation is fraught with dangers and serious potential hazards.

Stephen Bustin, PhD talks about the persisting problem of lack of transparency and reliability in current PCR data.

Key differences between PCR and qPCR

Problem: Drug discovery labs generate large amounts of real-time PCR data using high-throughput automation systems. However, these systems often require programming expertise, and some small to midsized labs don’t have this expertise on staff.

Problem: Although PCR is a staple of the molecular biology laboratory, protocols are often employed
without proper optimization, leading to less than ideal reaction conditions and compromised data.
