The process of purifying genetic material (DNA/RNA) from a biological sample by using physical and/or chemical methods to separate DNA/RNA from cell membranes, proteins, and other unwanted materials.
the Problem
DNA Extraction is a crucial diagnostic step
Sample processing for DNA extraction is a critical step for effective molecular diagnostic testing. DNA extraction is frequently overlooked in point-of-care diagnostic research and innovations.
Inefficient extraction technology is a limiting factor at the point of care. DNA extraction is the bottleneck when translating research to a point-of-care platform. We want to change that.
IntroducingSeekIt™Extraction
By rethinking DNA extraction for universal applications, we set out to innovate a DNA extraction platform that can be performed at the true point of care. We innovated a laboratory-quality DNA extraction platform for a new generation of diagnostic testing.
