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€.
When ideas and goals bring people together forming a community with a collective identity, inspiring individuals to take action and achieve great things, the power of those beliefs that unite them can be the force for real change in the world. In Solis BioDyne the curiosity and passion for exploring science and the responsibility with our environment is inspired by nature as the ultimate innovator, this is what identifies us.
This year seemed to just fly by because there was just so much happening all the time. It doesn’t feel that long ago when we did the recap for the year's first half. Now it’s time to focus on the second half of the year and all the wonder and joy we got to experience. As it is wintertime, feel free to grab a warm beverage and some gingerbread while you read.
In November of this year, the world population reached an astounding 8 billion people. To support the accompanying increase in food demand, beef and sheep farmers are using scientific interventions for assistance.
Contamination can ruin your day or even week. Data is not valid, a lot of cleaning must be done and supplies are wasted. Precious time and even samples can be lost. Prevention is the best strategy!
