Product Overview

From blood sample to PCR. Skip the extraction.

Blood samples can make PCR challenging before amplification begins. Anticoagulants such as EDTA, citrate, and heparin, along with sample format variability, can interfere with reliable amplification.

DeCodiFi™ Blood Direct is built for direct blood PCR workflows, combining high-fidelity amplification with inhibitor tolerance in a 2X All-In-One Mix format. Use it for workflows involving whole blood, preserved samples, dried blood spots, genotyping, forensic research, and other blood-derived sample applications.
