-
Molecular assay reagents designed for use in processing high-molecular-weight nucleotide polymers (i.e., nucleic acids), the most common of which are DNA and RNA. These reagents are intended to perform one of many processes on nucleic acids. These processes may include purification, replication, or amplification (i.e., increasing copy number through repetitive cycles using polymerase chain reaction), or sequencing (i.e., determining the order of the nucleic acid component base pairs).
