Prepare samples that maximise downstream success
PCR testing looks for the presence of nucleic acid sequences specific to the pathogen(s) of interest, such as SARS-CoV-2. Depending on your sensitivity requirements, the nucleic acid may be isolated from the sample via crude extraction or high-quality purification. Biosearch Technologies' oKtopure™ automated high-throughput extraction system and SARS-CoV-2 qualified sbeadex™ Pathogen Nucleic Acid Purification Kit is a scalable solution for recovering 100% of RNA. Utilise RapiDxFire Lyo-Flex 1-Step RT-qPCR 5X Master Mix for one-step viral/pathogen detection in centralised and point of care (POC) workflows.

Genomic surveillance
Mutations within a virus’ genome may influence viral characteristics such as transmissibility, immune escape and more. An RT-PCR-based assay can rapidly determine whether that viral sample contains the wild type or mutation, as long as that genome has already been sequenced through methods like whole genome sequencing.
Using qPCR is essential for genomic surveillance because it helps communities control outbreak and find opportunities to prevent further transmission. Monkeypox cases have been rising in non-endemic countries worldwide so it is key for assay developers to respond quickly.
Implement a fully automated PCR detection platform at any scale
Biosearch Technologies’ experienced team has previously developed automated purification and amplification workflows under FDA EUA and CE-IVD requirements for SARS-CoV-2 detection. These automated PCR workflows have achieved throughputs of up to 150,000 tests per day and can be configured to a variety of screening or testing applications based on your requirements.
Run up to 35,000 patient samples per day per system.
Complete 110,000+ test results every 24 hours on a single system.
