The Racer Engineering Standard
Gold Standard Workflows
We mirror our customers’ needs in our development and benchmarking workflows.
Real Life Robustness
Formulations engineered for stability across freeze–thaw cycles and automated workflows.
Workflow Interoperability
Designed to integrate with standard molecular biology pipelines and automation platforms.
CASE STUDY
F1-X™: Engineering Principles in Practice
F1-X™ is the first proof-of-concept for our platform approach for bringing better value to molecular biology workflows, demonstrating how biochemical optimization can push the limits of efficiency while bringing down costs.
95–97%
Cloning Efficiency
Maintained from 4 up to 11 fragments in a single assembly step. No protocol changes, no staged assemblies.
2.7–7.8 × 10⁻⁵
Observed Error Rate
Errors per base pair consistently remain below the theoretical error rate of input synthetic DNA.
+14.3%
vs. Market Leader
Absolute performance increase in error-free clone rates over NEBuilder® HiFi in head-to-head NGS-validated comparison.
Experimental conditions and methodology available on the Performance page.
