Innovative technologies combined with strategic partnerships have established Rubicon products as industry leaders for pre-analytical sample processing and amplification. Core competencies including enzymology, nucleic acid chemistry, and manufacturing have served as engines for innovation, development of intellectual property, and ongoing product development. Partnerships with the academic community and with customers have fueled these engines, resulting in a robust pipeline of future products. Rubicon products "break the sample barriers" for customers by allowing use of less sample from a diverse set of sample sources. Each Rubicon kit is constructed for ease of use, robustness, and speed to results. Rubicon products are available for research use and can be purchased directly from Takara Bio, through our distributors, or from OEM partners.
