Takara Bio to Release Two New Enzymes.Tokyo, Japan, June 5, 2006 - (JCN) - Takara Bio announced on June 1 that it will begin marketing two new enzymes, PrimeSTAR Max DNA Polymerase and PrimeScript, on June 18. A polymerase chain reaction 1. A series of events in which each induces or influences the next. 2. A series of chemical reactions in which one product of a reacting set is a reactant in the following set. 3. A multistage nuclear reaction, especially a self-sustaining series of fissions in which the release of neutrons from the splitting of one atom leads to the splitting of others.

Specifically, it can reduce the time required for amplification by 80%. Targeting the high-throughput screening and genetic testing markets, the company aims to generate annual sales of 100 million yen ($900,000). A reverse transcriptase reverse transcriptase reverse transcriptase see at R. tran·scrip·tase (tr  n-skr p t /re·verse tran·scrip·tase/ (re-vers´ tran-skrip´tas) an enzyme that catalyzes the template-directed, step-by-step addition of deoxyribonucleotides to the end of a DNA or RNA primer or growing DNA chain, using a single-stranded RNA template; it occurs in retroviruses and the DNA formed is an intermediate in the formation of progeny RNA. enzyme used in gene expression analysis, PrimeScript can synthesize cDNA in an efficient fashion. The company aims to achieve annual sales of 200 million yen ($1.8 mil), including sales of related products such as RT-PCR RT-PCR - Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction kits and reagents. Takara Bio aims to consolidate its presence in the domestic PCR enzyme market by increasing sales with the two new products. Copyright [c] 2006 Japan Corporate News Network. All rights reserved. |
