PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a crucial tool in clinical settings due to its ability to amplify specific DNA and RNA sequences, enabling rapid and accurate detection of genetic variants, infectious diseases, and biomarkers. This molecular biology technique has revolutionized research, diagnostics, and various other applications. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and advancements in genomic research have further driven the demand for PCR-based diagnostics. As a result, PCR plays a key role in areas such as early detection of diseases, genetic testing, and the identification of pathogens.
Technological advancements in PCR, including automation, integration with software, and improvements in instruments and chemicals, have led to increased performance, sensitivity, and efficiency. These developments have made PCR workflows faster, more accurate, and cost-effective, contributing to the expanding market. Real-time PCR (qPCR) and portable systems, for example, have enhanced diagnostic capabilities, making PCR applicable in remote and point-of-care settings.
Overall, PCR’s continuous evolution and its diverse applications across healthcare, agriculture, and research have cemented its importance in modern molecular diagnostics.
Government and federal agencies worldwide recognize the role of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and dPCR products in genome-based research. In February 2019, Genome Canada partnered with the federal government of Canada and various provincial governments, companies, and research groups. Genome Canada received ~USD 42.6 million through these partnerships in funding for bioinformatics and human health genomics projects. Visby Medical, an infectious disease diagnostics company based in the US, obtained funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in October 2020 for Phase 2 of its Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) initiative.
