Run up to 35,000 patient samples per day per system.
Complete 110,000+ test results every 24 hours on a single system.
Prepare samples that maximise downstream success
PCR testing looks for the presence of nucleic acid sequences specific to the pathogen(s) of interest, such as SARS-CoV-2. Depending on your sensitivity requirements, the nucleic acid may be isolated from the sample via crude extraction or high-quality purification. Biosearch Technologies' oKtopure™ automated high-throughput extraction system and SARS-CoV-2 qualified sbeadex™ viral RNA purification kit is a scalable solution for recovering 100% of RNA.
sbeadex viral RNA purification kit
Purify high-quality RNA at high yield with the magnetic bead-based sbeadex viral RNA purification kit, which has been validated for use in SARS-CoV-2 detection.

Following extraction, probes and primers, enzymes, and other chemistries are added to the extracted nucleic acid to determine whether the target pathogen(s) are present in the sample. Biosearch Technologies’ offers a comprehensive catalogue of off-the-shelf kits for use in PCR-based pathogen detection as well as high-quality individual assay components to support diagnostic assay developers and manufacturers.
RapiDxFire Thermostable Reverse Transcriptase (RT) is a lyo-compatible enzyme that’s stable at room temperature yet highly specific even at temperatures as high as 80 °C.
RapiDxFire qPCR 5X Master Mix GF is lyo-compatible with a glycerol-free, triton-free formulation that enables increased sensitivity. 48-hour reaction benchtop stability that’s perfect for automated or point-of-care workflows.
Genomic surveillance
Mutations within a virus’ genome may influence viral characteristics such as transmissibility, immune escape and more. An RT-PCR-based assay can rapidly determine whether that viral sample contains the wild type or mutation, as long as that genome has already been sequenced through methods like whole genome sequencing.
