Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction is used for various measurements of DNA. It is a PCR-based technique that couples the amplification of a target DNA sequence with quantification of a target DNA sequence with quantification of that DNA species in the reaction.
Technology Platform: Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 12K Flex, with Accufill system and QuantStudio 5.
Samples: Raw sample (Blood, Tissue, Buccal swab, Sputum, etc.), DNA and RNA.
For DNA & RNA sample submission, the following QC requirements are applicable:

- Gene Expression and Profiling.
- miRNA Expression Profiling.
- Real-Time PCR.
- Routine PCR-based panels such as COVID-19, RSV panels, and STI panels.
- New testing panels or custom panels.
Routine Testing
- Human papillomavirus (Antigen and various qPCR panels)
- Sexually Transmitted Infections (Antigen and various qPCR panels)
At Life360 Omics, our Molecular Biology Laboratory provides advanced DNA- and RNA-based testing services using real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) technology. Molecular diagnostics offers highly sensitive and specific detection of genetic material, enabling the rapid identification of infectious organisms, genetic variations, and disease-associated biomarkers.
Our molecular testing services support healthcare practitioners, researchers, occupational health programmes, and individuals seeking accurate diagnostic information. By analysing genetic material at the molecular level, qPCR testing can detect conditions long before they become apparent through traditional laboratory methods.
Infectious Disease Testing
Our molecular diagnostic platform enables the detection of bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic pathogens with exceptional accuracy and sensitivity.
Common infectious disease tests include:
- Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Panels
- Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Detection and Genotyping
- Respiratory Pathogen Testing
- Viral and Bacterial Infection Screening
- Gastrointestinal Pathogen Detection
- Opportunistic Infection Screening
These tests assist clinicians in diagnosing active infections, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring patient outcomes.
Women’s Health & HPV Testing
Life360 Omics offers comprehensive HPV molecular testing for the detection of high-risk and low-risk Human Papillomavirus genotypes associated with cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases.
Our HPV testing services provide:
- High-Risk HPV Detection
- HPV Genotyping
- Cervical Cancer Risk Assessment
- Follow-up Monitoring of HPV Infections
Early identification of high-risk HPV types plays a critical role in preventative healthcare and cervical cancer screening programmes.
Sexual Health Testing
Our qPCR-based STI testing panels provide highly accurate detection of multiple sexually transmitted pathogens from a single sample.
Available targets include:
- Chlamydia trachomatis
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- Mycoplasma genitalium
- Mycoplasma hominis
- Ureaplasma species
- Trichomonas vaginalis
- Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)
- Additional sexually transmitted pathogens
These tests offer superior sensitivity compared to many traditional diagnostic methods and support early diagnosis and treatment.
