Products and services

After the launch of Primer Premier the company released SimVector, a plasmid drawing and cloning simulation tool, and Array Designer, for designing microarray probes.

PREMIER Biosoft caught up early and authored Beacon Designer™, supporting the most popular real time PCR chemistries The company later came out with a pathogen detection system called AlleleID® with support for real time PCR and microarray probe design for designing cross species, species specific, intron-exon spanning assays and splice variant microarrays.

The company has ventured into proteomics, glycomics and lipidomics research with the launch of Xpression Primer (tagged primer design tool), SimGlycan® (MS/MS data analysis tool) and SimLipid (lipid characterization tool). The company's latest offerings, MALDIVision for MALDI IMS, analyzes and visualizes ion distribution in tissues and PrimerPlex for xMAP, designs oligos for multiplex systems.
