As technology advances, so does the field of PCR diagnostics. Recent innovations have made PCR testing faster, more accessible, and even portable, benefiting sectors such as agriculture, biotechnology, and water quality testing.

• Portable PCR devices: Compact machines now allow on-site testing in remote areas, reducing the need for centralised laboratories.
• Multiplex PCR: Allows simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens in a single reaction, saving time and resources.
• Digital PCR: Offers greater accuracy and sensitivity, ideal for detecting low-abundance targets or rare mutations.
