Molecular diagnostics of infectious diseases

Explore our innovative molecular nucleic acid extraction solutions

Your work is too important

High performance extraction for sensitive disease detection

Every good diagnostic assay requires an adequate sample preparation technique. In molecular diagnostics, assay performance relies on sensitive DNA and RNA extraction. This holds true for diagnosis of bacteria and parasites causing Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) as well as for every other infectious disease where the pathogen is not abundant in the primary sample. Don't rely on mainstream nucleic acid extraction products or protocols that are inadequate for your diagnostic assay. Your work is too important and your time is too precious!

The SwiftX™ product line enables a high analytical and clinical performance of your diagnostic assay. Our Cell Capture technology provides outstanding sensitivity and specificity through enrichment of intact cells and particles and removal of environmental free DNA. SwiftX™ extraction protocols provide a rapid and field-friendly nucleic acid extraction in only a few steps thanks to our Reverse Purification technology.

Discover how SwiftX™ kits can enable Point-of-Care / Point-of-Need molecular diagnostics for diseases such as Schistosomiasis, Leishmaniasis, DermatophytosisAfrican Swine Fever and many more.

 

Applications that benefit from SwiftX™ technology

Microscopy of Schistosoma worms

Schistosomiasis

A neglected tropical disease caused by parasitic flatworms that affects 200+ million people worldwide.

SwiftX™ DNA enables highly sensitive molecular detection of Schistosoma eggs using real-time PCR and isothermal amplification technologies.
