Technical Description

The GenAmplify™ African Swine Fever PCR Detection Kit offers a real-time detection of African swine fever (ASF) in blood samples using a multiplex quantitative PCR platform. The ASFv-specific primer and fluorescent dye-labelled probe sets which can amplify ASFv DNA with high specificity and efficiency. The kit includes two primer sets, one for the detection of the ASFV and one for the detection of an endogenous control, swine beta actin.
The use of this molecular-based diagnostic kit will assist hog raisers and animal farmers in identifying ASF-infected animals, preventing its further spread across local swine populations.
An external validation was also performed by a national reference animal testing laboratory under the Bureau of Animal Industry and results show that the GenAmplify™ African Swine Fever PCR Detection Kit exhibits 100% sensitivity and specificity.

Technical Description

The Biotek-M™ Lab-in-a-Mug (LIAM) dry bath incubator is a device specially designed for isothermal experiments to be used in less accessible areas. Despite its compact design, the incubator can fit 96 reactions. With its simple design, experiments such as LAMP Assays can be performed outside laboratories, important for point-of-care diagnostics.

Technical Description

The EasyVIEW™ LED Transilluminator is a simple to use, compact, and portableviewer for fluorescence experiments such as LAMP experiments. Results from experiments can be easily viewed anywhere and anytime. Together with the LIAM
dry bath incubator, point-of-care diagnostics can be easily performed in less accessible areas where they are needed the most.

Technical Description

The GenAmplify™ Viral RNA Purification Kit provides a convenient method for the isolation of RNA from cell-free fluid, cell-culture supernatant, plasma, serum, swab, urine, and virus-infected samples. This kit utilizes the glass fiber membrane technology to purify nucleic acid at a sufficient level for downstream analysis instead of conventional alcohol precipitation or phenol/chloroform extraction.
The GenAmplify™ Viral RNA Purification Kit buffer system provides the effective binding condition of RNA to the glass fiber membrane and the impurities on the membrane are washed away by two different wash buffers. At last, pure RNA is eluted in nuclease-free water. The whole procedure takes only 15 minutes at room temperature and the purified nucleic acid is suitable for PCR, RT-PCR, or any downstream application without further manipulation.

Technical Description

The GenAmplify™ DNA Purification Kit, including Blood, Clinic, and Cell SV kit provide fast and easy methods for the small-scale purification of total DNA from various sample matrices such as blood, tissues, bacterial or cultured cells, and forensic specimens. Purified DNA can be used directly for PCR, Southern blotting, and other downstream applications.

The GenAmplify™ DNA Purification Kit utilizes the advanced silica-binding technology to purify total DNA sufficiently pure for many applications. Various samples are lysed in the optimized buffer containing detergents and lytic enzyme. Under high salt condition, DNA in the lysate bind to the silica membrane and impurities pass through the membrane into a collection tube. The membranes are washed with a series of alcohol-containing buffers to remove any traces of proteins, cellular debris, and salts. Finally, pure DNA is released into a clean collection tube with deionized water or low ionic strength buffer.

Technical Description

The GenAmplify™ BeaDxMax Viral DNA/RNA Extraction Kit uses a silica-magnetic bead technology for isolation and purification of viral total nucleic acid. This kit is compatible with the PANAMAX48™ Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction System, which can process up to 48 samples in a single run. It can extract DNA/RNA from blood, tissue, organs, environmental samples, saliva, and nasal sample using the selective binding properties of a silica dioxidicoated magnetic bead.

The kit can remove protein and other organic compound impurities. The extracted viral DNA/RNA can be directly used for downstream applications such as PCR/ RT- PCR, isothermal reactions, and sequencing.
