Products
Automated integrated molecular diagnostic system (processor + reader + single-use cassette)
Bench-top platform that automates sample extraction, multiplex PCR amplification, and array-based detection using a sealed single-use cassette and an instrument containing processor and reader modules.
Multiplex infectious-disease assay panels (research and regulatory statuses vary)
A menu of multiplex PCR assay panels for infectious-disease targets and resistance markers provided as consumable assay panels run on the integrated platform. Regulatory statuses include cleared, under regulatory review, EUA-pending, or research-use-only depending on the panel.
Online multiplex primer design software
Web-based design tool that incorporates melting temperature, polymerase preference indexing and multiplex PCR design rules to support development of multi-target PCR panels.
