We have started this year strong by launching SOLIScript® SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR Multiplex Assay Kit on the market. So far it has been confirmed to detect Omicron (B.1.1.529) with 100% detection rate.
Since the start of the pandemic we have put a lot of care into developing the most efficient tools, so that everybody could accelerate their RT-qPCR testing to combat all the COVID-19 variants. When Omicron was designated as a variant of concern by WHO on the 26th of November it was quickly confirmed that Solis BioDyne’s very own IVD grade reagent SOLIScript® 1-step CoV Kit will not be tricked by the various mutations.
Now with the new SOLIScript® SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR Multiplex Assay Kit, which is currently for Research Use Only, it is possible to take testing even further. This product is based on SOLIScript® 1-step CoV Kit, but in addition supplied with all the primers, probes and positive control needed for SARS-CoV-2 detection. There is also proof from our partner diagnostic laboratory that it can detect Omicron (B.1.1.529) from clinical samples with 100% detection rate. Furthermore, the kit is 100% in agreement with LDT and Seegene CE-IVD kit.

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!
