Short company profile

► Biosearch Technologies is an innovative specialty DNA and peptide synthesis reagent manufacturer and a leading provider of custom synthesized fluorescence-quenched probes and primers for R&D and commercial applications. Biosearch’s proprietary line of dyes and dark quenchers include the Black Hole Quencher®, CAL Fluor® and Quasar® families of dyes, and the Pulsar® 650 dye, all of which are available for DNA, peptide and protein labeling. As a leader in the design and manufacture of oligonucleotide-based assay tools, Biosearch is the ONLY custom oligo provider offering TaqMan® and Molecular Beacon probes, Black Hole Scorpions™, Amplifluor Direct® and Plexor™ Primers for real-time PCR-based genomic research, SNP discovery, detection and analysis, allelic discrimination, gene expression analysis and other applications.

Biosearch has also developed and patented its own advanced high-throughput DNA synthesizers and liquid handling robotic systems that make the automated manufacture, purification and delivery of thousands of discrete, high quality oligos per day routine and very cost effective.

New Technologies
Dyes and Quenchers for Multiplex PCR

► Biosearch recently introduced two NEW series of proprietary, performance-optimized dyes for enabling multiplex real-time, quantitative PCR (qPCR) on existing real-time thermocycler instrument platforms—the CAL Fluor® and Quasar® dye families. Paired with Biosearch's proprietary BHQ dark quenchers in dual-labeled rt, qPCR probes these dyes enable not only duplex but also triplex and quadriplex qPCR capability! Exhibiting emission maxima ranging from 522 nm to 670 nm, these new dyes are high performance, low cost alternatives for seven fluorophores commonly used on real-time thermocyclers: TET™, JOE™, VIC™, HEX™, Texas Red®, Cy3™ and Cy5™. Coupled with the BHQ® dark quenchers you now can realize the full potential of your q-PCR thermocycler!

► The CAL Fluor, Quasar and BHQ dyes can be incorporated into a variety of popular probe designs, including dual-labeled TaqMan® and Molecular Beacon probes and Black Hole Scorpions™, Amplifluor Direct® and Plexor primer systems. And, they are fully compatible with the range of real-time PCR instruments including those by Applied Bioystems, Stratagene, Corbett Research, Bio-Rad Laboratories and Cepheid, among others.
