Readygo Diagnostics Initiates An Assay Development Contract With Gemina Laboratories For The Detection Of Dengue From Saliva Samples

ReadyGo Diagnostics will develop, optimize and validate an assay for the detection of the dengue virus (DENV) for Gemina to run on ReadyGo’s off-grid isothermal diagnostic platform, Geo. The Geo platform provides rapid results in any location in under 30 minutes and is expected to play a crucial role in the detection of DENV within near-patient settings which would greatly improve patient management and outcome.

RESONANCE

Newly Published Data Supports Effectiveness of BIOTRONIK Neuro’s RESONANCE ™ Stimulation

“As we await additional data from our BENEFIT-03 study, we’re excited to see these initial data on the long-term effects of our SCS system,” said BIOTRONIK Neuro President Todd Langevin. “We developed Prospera to offer patients sustainable pain relief – and we believe its proactive care model will have a clinically meaningful impact on lowering long-term failure rates and reducing the service burden of SCS.”

Applications of Amplicon Sequencing

Principles and Applications of Amplicon Sequencing

Amplicon sequencing is a type of DNA sequencing technique commonly used to analyze a specific genetic region. This technique involves the amplification of a DNA fragment, or amplicon, using techniques such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction) to generate a large number of copies. Once these copies are made, they are sequenced to identify genetic variations or mutations. Amplicon sequencing is often used in research and clinical settings due to its high sensitivity and capability to analyze multiple specific regions simultaneously.

Ariceum Therapeutics’ Targeted Radiopharmaceutical 177Lu-satoreotide Exhibits Promising Clinical Response and Good Tolerability Profile in Patients with Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumours

Satoreotide combines Ariceum’s proprietary peptide satoreotide – a first-in-class and best-in-class antagonist of the somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) – with the radioactive isotope ‘payload’ 177Lutetium. SSTR2 is a cell surface protein often overexpressed in certain cancers, including NETs and small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Isothermal Mixes

New Hot Start Isothermal Mixes Boost Sensitivity, Specificity, and Speed of DNA Target Detection

Isothermal mixes are important in a range of isothermal amplification applications, including whole genome amplification, point-of-care assay development and testing, and strand displacement amplification for synthetic biology. However, a common issue with isothermal mixes is non-specific amplification — where primers bind to unintended DNA targets — because amplification often takes place at a fixed temperature which may favour non-specific primer interactions, contrary to PCR. Isothermal mixes can also lead to primer dimer formation, where primers associate with each other and are extended by the polymerase.
