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.

Lyophilization, also known as freeze-drying, is in simple terms a water-removal process that increases product stability and preserves its functionality. Our new SolisFAST® Lyo-Ready qPCR Kit with UNG represents an optimized lyophilization-compatible qPCR solution to enhance the simplicity, convenience, and speed of diagnostic and applied testing.
The running joke with PCR is that if something can go wrong, it will go wrong. Quite often it’s even impossible to determine why some samples turned out fine while the others did not. In a situation like this, it would be amazing to know some trick or a secret to avoid spending all the time and resources to do the experiment again. Here are a few we are willing to share so that you could find love for PCR.
In research, every day different methods are used to discover something new, whether it is a new disease, medicine, or something else. Often these methods were developed long ago and are confirmed to be doing what they are supposed to do. However, as technology develops so do new methods. This is exactly what Professor Steven Williams’ lab is doing at Smith College – developing new methods to be used in research and diagnostics.
As an alternative to PCR, the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) reaction has been developed for DNA detection. The LAMP test is fast, simple, and sensitive.
