Enterprise Estonia supported the project "Development of a POC test for rapid diagnosis of pathogens (incl. COVID-19)". The project period is 01.02.2021-31.12.2023.
So far, Solis BioDyne has offered the gold standard solutions for diagnostics- RT-qPCR. Now, SARS-CoV-2 has highlighted the need for a wider variety of methods for COVID-19 analysis of patient samples.
As part of the European Regional Development Fund-supported project, Solis BioDyne is developing an innovative isothermal polymerase from which a number of reagents are being developed for use in various methods. Isothermal polymerases are increasingly used in close-up patient studies for the rapid analysis of various pathogens, allowing the analysis to be performed within 30 minutes without complex equipment.
The second goal of the project is the development of freeze-drying technology for Solis BioDyne products. Freeze-drying makes it possible to significantly extend the shelf life of products and to create new types of analytical methods. The total cost of the project is 1,368,200 €, of which the European Regional Development Fund covers up to 1,094,560€.
To advance innovation in synthetic biology we decided to help young and talented scientists from Lund University with their Methane RemOOver project. Their goal is the reduction of methane emissions from cows using a synthetically engineered microorganism. With this idea, they also participated in iGEM competition.
This year the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun, two scientists credited with discovering microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Now, 30 years after their finding, you can do microRNA experiments with ease by using our products designed to make discovering new things simple and hassle-free.
This summer we got to collaborate with a fun project organized by the MINT Campus in Germany. Not only does MINT campus inspire children and young people about these topics but it also introduces young people to sustainable, innovative developments in current research and technology.
Whether you are studying the genetic material of plants, brains or viruses, the experiment usually starts with extracting RNA from the sample material. It would be incredibly useful to get all the RNA extracted instead of it getting destroyed by the RNases before even starting the cDNA synthesis step. But how can we protect the RNA when RNases are all around us? Let’s find out!
