Munich, Germany | April 18th - 21st, 2026 | Booth G37
ESCMID brings together clinical microbiologists, infectious disease specialists, and diagnostic innovators focused on real-world performance. At Watchmaker Genomics, we're launching new qPCR and RT-qPCR kits built specifically for your assays.
Our focus is clear: inhibitor tolerance.
Launching at ESCMID: Stellar qPCR and RT-qPCR Kits
Crude samples in. Clean data out.
Stellar qPCR and RT-qPCR Kits introduce a novel chemistry engineered for fast, extraction-free amplification from challenging samples.
Stellar qPCR and RT-qPCR Kits deliver:
- Leading inhibitor tolerance for crude extractions or raw samples
- Rapid time to result
- High sensitivity even when multiplexing
Extraction is no longer a bottleneck.
Join Our Innovation and Pipeline Theater Talk
Breaking Barriers: A new qPCR chemistry for fast, extraction-free POC testing
Speaker: Curtis Knox
Date & time: Sunday, April 19th, 10:30 - 10:50 AM
Location: Innovation and Pipeline Theatre

In this sesson, we will present performance data demonstrating how Stellar qPCR and RT-qPCR Kits enable robust amplification directly from challenging samples without compromising accuracy. Learn how this chemistry supports faster workflows, decentralized testing strategies, and scalable diagnostic development.
If you are developing assays for infectious disease, antimicrobial resistance, or hospital microbiology applications, this session is for you.
Also at ESCMID: RPA Isothermal Amplification
For workflows requiring rapid, no thermal cycler amplification, our RPA systems offer:
- Fast isothermal amplification
- High tolerance to sample impurities
- Flexibility for portable and decentralized platforms
