Testimonials
“We were looking for small, robust PCR machines to be used […] in Sierra Leone to sequence Ebola virus in real time. The miniPCR machines have proved to be a perfect solution, combining portability with ease of use and robust performance. […] In some cases the performance has exceeded that of the much more costly real time PCR machines that were already available within the diagnostic lab.”
Prof. Ian Goodfellow, University of Cambridge, UK (Read the full article)
“Your products are awesome! Thanks!”
Science Department Chairperson, Seekonk High School, MA
“We were very impressed with how efficiently and effectively the mini8 worked and would love to be able to use it directly with our research students.”
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories DNA Barcoding class attendee
“I have used our miniPCR machines a number of times now and overall they perform great. They are super easy to work with.”
Jonathan Yde, Department of Biomedicine, Aarhus University, Denmark
“Course at the Sanger [Institute] went great. Used the miniPCRs on a couple of experiments: worked beautifully. Kits also survived shipping OK and worked robustly. “
Professor Jonathan Marchant, following outreach trip to UK
“We found your PCR is really good to do it [genotype mice]. The PCR product signals were 3 time stronger than Bio-Rad PCR.”
Medicine Assistant Professor at Ewha Woman University, South Korea
“It’s really a great piece of equipment, beautifully designed for the classroom. The clear design is awesome, and it’s so easy to use. No mess involved either – it’s great.”
High School Teacher, San Francisco Bay Area
“We are testing [miniPCR] out in the field inside farms […] to shorten testing time for key bacterial and viral diseases (were time is of importance to prevent outbreaks). It proved very useful to really make the miniPCR mobile. “
Field veterinarian, Singapore
“I’m a researcher working with genetics. The miniPCR is genius! And its use as an educational tool really important.”
Kickstarter backer, Washington, DC, USA
“We are very happy with the performance we have seen in our tests of the mini8s. They are just what we needed and seem to perform equivalently with our ABI 9700s.”
Biotech scientist, Arlington, VA, USA
“The miniPCR machine worked great. My assistant principal and another science teacher couldn’t believe how compact and easy it was to use. I kept photos of the graphs to show the students that weren’t there on Saturday and I told my principal that they would be a great investment for our school.”
Biology Teacher, Long Island, NY, USA
“I am just thrilled with what you are doing and can’t wait to use it with my students.”
A Kickstarter backer, Kentucky, USA
“Brilliant innovative idea for educational purposes.”
A Kickstarter backer, UK
“…one of the best inventions in molecular biology.”
A Kickstarter backer, Turkey
“It makes something that used to be out of reach for most students very attainable.”
Scott Atkinson, Biotechnology Teacher at Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational and Technical High School, MA
“Found your software both fun and easy to use. We are very happy with the miniPCR system […] it is a great tool for students.”
Assistant Director for Science at DNA Learning Center
“We are very excited. We could never have added PCR to our curriculum before miniPCR.”
Howard Goldsweig, Biology Teacher at Codman Academy Public Charter School, Dorchester, MA
“… more utilitarian, less intimidating, and simply more engaging for my students”
Forensics Biotechnology Teacher, Modesto, CA
“I’ve run miniPCR side-by-side with our $10,000 machine, and the results were identical”
Principal Investigator at City College, New York, NY
“miniPCR significantly enhances the classroom experience.”
Biology Teachers from Melrose, Malden, Chelmsford, and Medford High Schools, MA
“I was learning and having fun at the same time”
Middle School Student, Cambridge, MA
“Never have I wanted a grant to be approved more. What you guys were able to do is really a remarkable thing. I hope I get to share these fine machines with my students. Thank you.”
High School Biotech Teacher, Oakdale, CA
“It is nice to have a cycler on my bench that I can use at my leisure, and don’t have to wait for our larger machines. I also like that the software is easy to use.”
Research Fellow at University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA
“Super stoked to have 1sthand look @ brand new @minipcr device that will revolutionize edu”
Rockefeller University Science Outreach Director, via Twitter
“I like the small size of the miniPCR, the portability and the fact that [it] is easy to program and use. I also like the design.”
Postdoctoral Fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA
“Thank you for creating this product!“
Biology teacher visiting the miniPCR booth at NSTA national conference, Boston, MA
“miniPCR performance is as good as with our more expensive machines”
Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT/Whitehead Institute, Cambridge, MA
“The teachers were in awe (probably still are) at the workings of miniPCR, as well as the price.”
Science Outreach coordinator at Harvard Outreach Program, Cambridge, MA
“A phone-app-controlled PCR machine? Awesome!!”
Graduate student, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA
“[The students] were as excited about the design and construction of miniPCR as they were about the science behind the PCR lab”
Biotechnology Teacher at Greater New Bedford Vocational Technical High School, MA
“You have no idea how excited the other biology teacher and I are about this!! We were both ecstatic when we found your booth at the NSTA conference.”
Biology Teacher, ME
