Products
CENOS platform
Portable in-field RT-qPCR platform comprising a field-portable instrument and extraction-free lyophilised reagent consumable, designed for direct amplification from crude samples and point-of-care use with automated result interpretation.
QuRapID-XF platform
Portable rapid multiplex detection qPCR system designed for in-field use that supports rapid thermal cycling and extraction-free closed-tube reactions for detection of RNA and DNA targets from crude samples.
Laboratory consumables and reagents (e.g., BioAgar, agaroses)
Research-grade agar and agarose products and biochemical reagents supplied with datasheets for laboratory use.
NGS and genetic analysis software suites (distributed/resold)
Analysis and interpretative software packages for fragment analysis, variant detection and NGS workflows, including tools for STR/mtDNA analysis, chimerism monitoring, variant calling and long-read sequencing analysis.
