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:
Since October is a National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we decided to take a closer look into the topic focusing on PCR/qPCR part in diagnostics.
Using hot-start DNA polymerase helps you to avoid primer-dimers and unspecific amplification. In this article we explain benefits and disadvantages of each most common method.
Jana compares her career at Solis BioDyne to rally, saying there are turns and tracks with different covers, some easier to get through than others. The important thing is to keep your eye on the prize, keep your gears in good order and get along with your co-driver – that is the secret to good teamwork and success.
Whenever you are planning to do a PCR experiment, whether it is end-point PCR, qPCR, RT-PCR, or some other sort of PCR, you are going to need primers. Getting the right primers can be difficult and you can't just go and buy random primers either, you have to design them first.
