Challenges of traditional PCR
Purchasing separate test kits increases inventory and decreases flexibility in ordering.
| DNA test kit 1 | DNA test kit 2 | RNA test kit1 | RNA test kit 2 |

Running individual targets on separate plates increases time to results.
Running separate real-time PCR cycling programs increases the investment in real-time instruments.
Benefits of the modular RealPCR platform
Purchasing individual components as needed improves inventory and provides flexibilty in ordering.
| Target mixes | Master mixes | Negative control | Positive control |

Running RNA and DNA targets side by side rather than on separate plates is cost-effective and reduces waste.
Using a single cycling protocol ( <70 minutes) for all reactions and analyzing results at the same time is faster.
