Press releases

Rapid genomic surveillance of pathogens can provide valuable insights, in order to guide public health interventions. Novel workflows using nanopore technology enables for real-time sequencing of clinical samples. However, current library preparation workflows are limited and can take up to 5 hours whereby PCR takes around 3,5 hours. By using NextGenPCR technology it is possible to decrease the PCR library preparation to 27 minutes for the SARS-CoV-2 Midnight protocol from Nikkie Freed et al.

Ultrafast RT-PCR for COVID-19 by Molecular Biology Systems draws Dutch government support

A single unit, the size of a shoebox, could perform a hundred and eighty (180) amplification runs a day, an almost ten-fold increase over the current US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommended instrumentation. Detection of amplified product can be done with widely-available blue light gel document systems.
