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:
It doesn’t happen often that products developed almost three decades ago remain not only on the product list but as one of the most popular products overall. This is, however, the case with our main polymerases. These have become classics that seem to never go out of style like jeans or a little black dress. So, what makes them so special? Let’s take a look!
Every company has to start from somewhere. There can either be an “aha” moment - a sudden spark of inspiration that sets everything in motion. Other times it can happen gradually with ideas coming and going until something bigger grows out of all this brainstorming. For Solis BioDyne, it was the latter. As we celebrate 30 years since our founding, we think it’s the perfect time to share our origin story with you.
Have you ever thought about doing a PCR experiment, but you are not quite sure what product to use? Or the product you have chosen doesn’t work as well as it should and you are looking for an alternative? We are here to help you out with some recommendations from fellow scientists based on different application possibilities.
For 10 years now, on the 11th of February, we celebrate the women and girls who have chosen to follow the path of science. We believe giving everyone a chance to do what they love is important, and it doesn’t matter what gender a person is. In Solis BioDyne, 66% of our employees and 75% of our scientists are women and they are absolutely amazing in their work.
