JB Scientific

Partner for PCR, cloning, gene function and stem cells

Takara Bio

PCR and qPCR enzymes, In-Fusion cloning, gene editing and delivery, NGS library prep and stem-cell systems.

Takara Bio developed the long-and-accurate LA PCR technology behind TaKaRa Ex Taq and LA Taq, and its PrimeSTAR enzymes are among the most accurate PCR polymerases available.

Beyond PCR, Takara covers the whole gene-function workflow: In-Fusion cloning, CRISPR and lentiviral delivery, inducible expression, SMART-seq NGS and Cellartis stem-cell culture. Our Takara guide explains which product fits which job.
