Experts at SP Genevac have identified key areas where their equipment ranges can help accelerate production of COVID-19 detection kits.
The COVID-19 detection kit currently uses RT-PCR where the primers & probes are oligonucleotides. In response to the global pandemic, demand for these oligonucleotides has increased, as has the need to accelerate scale-up. ”
The Genevac Rocket solvent evaporator could be used to scale up the oligonucleotide production. Because primers and probes are shipped dry, they could require a high throughput solvent evaporator (HT Series).
Genevac product ranges, including the latest HT Series 3i evaporator, are exclusively available from Biopharma Group in the UK, Ireland & France. Get in touch with Genevac specialists here or visit https://biopharma.co.uk/equipmentranges
In response to customer requests for information about high throughput assay preparation equipment, SP Genevac is inviting users to a roundtable discussion (date TBC) with in-house technical experts and industry leaders. The event will focus on best practices for accelerating COVID-19 test kit production using parallel sample evaporation technology. In addition, there will be an opportunity to discuss how high-throughput sample evaporation can help to increase throughput, ensure that dry oligos are dry oligos and prevent contamination via the anti-bumping evaporation technology utilised with Genevac products.
