Meridian Bioscience Launches Lyo-Ready™ Saliva-Specific Isothermal Amplification Master Mixes for Direct Detection of DNA & RNA in Point of Care Diagnostic Assays
Lyo-Ready™ Direct DNA LAMP Saliva Mix and Lyo-Ready™ Direct RNA/DNA LAMP Saliva Mix are the first commercially available isothermal mixes designed explicitly for saliva and sputum samples and are compatible with lyophilization. Meridian's new master mixes combine the benefits of high inhibitor tolerance with fast isothermal amplification to enable ultra-sensitive detection directly from saliva or sputum. The mixes are uniquely designed for extraction-free amplification making them ideal for POC diagnostics. They are compatible with lyophilization to create ambient-temperature stable molecular diagnostic assays, providing significant cost savings and environmental benefits in shipment and storage.
"Isothermal amplification methods such as LAMP are increasingly used in molecular diagnostics due to their compatibility with point-of-care devices and fast time to results. Our newest saliva-specific isothermal mixes are unique in the market and outperform other commercially available master mixes with faster time to results and significantly better amplification in terms of sensitivity and specificity. We are confident they will quickly become market-leading solutions for diagnostic assay developers," commented
Meridian is committed to supplying novel solutions to the diagnostic industry to simplify and accelerate the development of superior diagnostic assays.
