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€.
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.
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.
