The 12th of December is a date that the United Nations proclaimed as “International Universal Health Coverage Day”. They aim to raise awareness of the need for strong and resilient health systems. The idea behind the slogan is that everyone everywhere should have access to quality, affordable health care, no matter which part of the world one resides in.
That idea has become particularly important in the Covid-19 pandemic that affects every part of our planet. People here at Solis BioDyne are working hard to make the process of Covid-19 testing, and also of other genetic analyses conducted by PCR, possible all over the world. The UN states that healthcare has to be provided close to home, in the community. Thanks to the Stability TAG that allows our products to be shipped at ambient temperature, our reagents can get to clients in places otherwise hard to reach. The room temperature stability also enables point-of-care testing.
The UN draws attention to the fact that universal health care should cover two characteristics: affordability and quality. In addition to the room temperature stability feature of our products, our prices are customer-friendly and our reagents are of a prime quality, leading to high specificity, sensitivity, and performance. As an example, here’s what our clients have said about our SOLIScript® 1-step CoV Kit:
We are having a stability appreciation month, so here are all the good things related to stability from experiment set-up to logistics.
In our last story we talked about how animals can help to improve human health. This time we are talking about how humans could improve the health of animals, more specifically the health of horses and donkeys.
During the last couple of years PCR tests have become quite well-known, mostly in relation to the COVID-19. In reality, using PCR tests to diagnose diseases has been around for some time and it’s becoming increasingly more popular and diverse, allowing for better pathogen detection not just in the field of medicine, but also in other areas such as agriculture.
It is time to introduce another one of our amazing colleagues. For this month we have chosen our development and technology specialist Ilja.
