The Isohelix DNA/RNA GeneFix saliva and buccal collection and isolation chemistries are now fully integrated into the Autogen FlexSTAR DNA automation systems, aiding the processing of larger samples volumes without detriment to high purity and yields of gDNA.
Isohelix has launched a novel kit for the rapid preparation of PCR-Ready DNA from GeneFix and BuccalFix stabilised samples.
The Salivalyse novel chemistry removes potent inhibitors quickly and efficiently, from varying sample volumes and used directly in PCR and qPCR.
With less time spent on sample preparation, further optimises PCR and qPCR work flows.
Isohelix is pleased to announce it has now engaged Advena Ltd to act as our European Representative, for both the ‘GeneFiX DNA/RNA Collectors’ and ‘Isohelix DNA/RNA Buccal Swabs’ which will ensure a smooth and more efficient importation of our products being imported into the European market.
Isohelix pens new lease for an additional office/storage facility, instantly doubling its existing floor area to further support its continued ‘year on year growth’ in sales, production and warehousing.
We are pleased to announce that Genefix RNA devices are being used as the preferred saliva collector of choice by Precision Genetics under their FDA EUA for their rapidly expanding Covid-19 testing programme.
They chose the Genefix collectors on its merits, for ease of use and superior performance through their high capacity and various SARS-CoV-2 assays.
The GeneFiX™ Saliva DNA collectors are trusted worldwide to provide high yields of quality DNA, but if you need even more DNA, we have introduced The ‘Xtra DNA Collect’ – designed to collect 3ml of Saliva thus improving yields over the standard GeneFiX™ and 1ml and 2 ml collectors. Our high performance buffer has been concentrated to allow collection of 3ml saliva samples into just 1ml of buffer, increasing yield by up to 50% for all your tricky donors or for further downstream testing
StoolFiX™ is designed to be used in combination with well published Isohelix swabs for the easy collection and stabilization of microbial DNA from fecal samples. The kit requires minimal sample handling, and uses a non-toxic stabilization buffer creating an easy to use collection device that can be used within the laboratory or at remote patient collection sites.
The StoolFiX™ tube is fully transport tested, and eliminates cold chain shipping by stabilizing DNA for one month at room temperature for high yields of intact DNA.
recently opened their flagship Covent Garden store, where customers can take a quick DNA test using our well-known buccal swabs in order to receive suggestions (nudges) towards healthier choices, based on genetic predispositions.
The Isohelix swab is ideal for quickly collecting sufficient DNA to perform fast and accurate analysis for commercial and healthcare testing.
