Present TATAA Biocenters are located in Göteborg, Sweden, Prague, Czech Republic, and Sunnyvale, CA. They were founded by a group of pioneers who established collaborations with leading biotech industry to arrange training in real-time PCR. Practical hands-on courses are held on regular basis in Belgium, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, India, Italy, Norway, Sweden and now also Canada and the US. TATAA Biocenter also functions as a support center for instrument producers, it develops qPCR assays for product-developing companies, it assists companies in technology shifts, and it sells dyes and other services in the qPCR field.

About real-time PCR
PCR is a key technology in life science research and molecular diagnostics in which a segment of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) is copied or "amplified" so that it can be more readily analyzed. Real-time PCR is a modification of standard PCR and provides greater accuracy in applications such as the quantification of gene expression, proteins, viruses and bacteria in human, food and soil samples, and for analysis of mutations (SNP), detection of gene modified organisms (GMO) and forensic testing. The process involves cycles of alternative heating and cooling of a small sample containing the nucleic acid. Throughout this process, copies of targeted DNA molecules are produced and the amount of the amplified DNA is measured during the PCR process in real-time. This ensures very accurate and precise quantification of the nucleic acid.
