Products
Rapid milk allele test kit (on-site)
All-in-one test kit and readout platform designed to extract DNA from raw milk and detect specific beta-casein alleles within ~60 minutes for herd genotyping and batch verification.
Automated capsule-based on-site DNA screening platform
Automated screening system combining hardware and disposable assay cartridges for rapid DNA screening at the point-of-need, integrated with cloud result management and certificate generation.
Multiplex digital microfluidic platform for milk fraud detection
Integrated DMF device that automates sample preparation and multiplex detection to deliver laboratory-level DNA testing precision in on-site locations without requiring technical personnel.
Lab-on-chip concentration module for early-warning detection
On-chip concentration and detection modules developed to support sensitive, real-time monitoring for food safety early-warning applications.
DNAFoil
An easy-to-perform testing kit that allows users in the field to quickly test cocoa plants using leaves as samples to detect three strains of the Cocoa Swollen Shoot Disease virus in about 1 hour.
DNAFoil® Pork
A DNA test kit designed to detect intentional or unintentional pork contamination in food products, raw materials, and cleaning validation processes.
