Canvax is a leading manufacturer and supplier of the most innovative solutions, kits and R&D Reagents inside Molecular Biology fields. Since its foundation in 2001, Canvax offers reliable, cost-effective and easy-to-use innovative tools for research. Based in Córdoba (Spain), since its beginning it has focused on R&D of multiplex high throughput platforms (HTS) for Drug discovery and Diagnostic applied biosensors. Over a decade later, Canvax is a worldwide leading expert in GPCR expression in heterologous cells, with important patents and exclusive know-how. Canvax prides itself to be the first company to get an unprecedented milestone that could revolutionize the Diagnostics sector: Canvax established stable high-level expression of odour GPCRs into heterologous cell lines in 2014. This key milestone, that could be applied in diagnostic, perfume and cosmetic industry, are being employed to obtain a molecular nose, a sensitive and non-invasive diagnostic molecular device for early detection of cancer, as the nose of trained dogs do. Thanks to this project, Canvax was awarded, in 2013, with the largest Public & Private Contract for Pre competitive Technology Development in Spanish history.

Reagents for PCR
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reagents are critical components in the amplification of specific regions of DNA. These reagents play a vital role in ensuring the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of PCR, which is a widely used technique in molecular biology research.
One of the most important PCR reagents is the DNA polymerase enzyme, which is responsible for catalyzing the synthesis of new DNA strands during PCR. There are various types of DNA polymerases available for PCR, each with its own unique properties and advantages. For example, Taq polymerase is a commonly used DNA polymerase that is highly thermostable and can withstand the high temperatures required for PCR denaturation.
In addition to DNA polymerase, other PCR reagents include deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs), which serve as the building blocks for the new DNA strands; PCR buffers, which provide the optimal chemical environment for DNA polymerase activity; and various PCR additives, such as betaine and DMSO, which can enhance PCR performance in certain applications.
