FOOD TESTING
ALLERGEN DETECTION PCR
The InviScreen Allergen Detection is a premium quality molecular biology tool to provide the general laboratory and research personnel an easy and ready-to-use kit for the detection of specific allegen species in food and feed samples. For DNA purification prior to testing, the InviSorbextraction kits offer efficient protocols fo various starting materials.
ALLERGEN DETECTION LATERAL FLOW
The InviRapid lateral flow essays provide a fast and easy detection of diverse allergens within just few minutes. These essays are suitable for on-site analysis, and do not require any laboratory equipment. They are user-friendly, even for inexperienced personnel.
GMO DETECTION
The InviScreen GMO Detection is a molecular biology tool that allows to easily detect GMOs using a fast, ISO 21569 standard-based, real-time PCR detection method based on the detectinof the pCaMV35S, tNOS and pFMV genes. The kits can be used with a variety of starting materials, and benefits from the InviSorb extraction kits that offer efficient protocols for DNA purification.
FOODBORNE PATHOGEN DETECTION
The InviScreen kits for foodborne pathogen detection are developed based on the corresponding ISO standards that define the real-time PCR methods for the detection of the specific microorganisms in food and feed matrices. The kits include positive controls and extraction controls when required by the standards.
For DNA/RNA purification prior testing, the invitek extraction kits offer optimized protocols for various starting materials.
GENOMICS & MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS
MICROBIOME RESEARCH
A major challenge for microbiome studies is maintaining an even and accurate DNA extraction in the presence of samples with a wide range of bacterial content and originating from environmental, gut and oral starting materials. Our molecular products for reliable and validated microbiome sample management, from sample collection and stabilization to reliable DNA extraction, ensure that your samples remain intact and accurately reflect the microbiome diversity.
INFECTIOUS DISEASE TESTING
Our nucleic acid extraction products for infectious diseases enable excellent perfomance in downstream applications such as NGS and multiplex PCR detection. The InviSorb and InviMag product lines for pathogens cover all requirements of the daily routinr laboratory. For the InviScreen SARS-CoV-2 detection kits, the selection of genomic regions used as targets and the sequences of the primers and probes are based on WHO, CDC and DGS recommendations.
GENETIC TESTING
For the various applications in the field of genetic testing, we offer various modular products for sample collection and nucleic acid extraction from saliva and blood specimens used in pharmacogenomics or diagnostic and predictive testing.
ONCOLOGY
Our InviMag solutions for liquid biopsy and FFPE samples enable a reliable and reproducible application of cfDNA and genomic DNA used in NGS detection systems. With our kits, you can automate your workflows with just short hands-on time.
LIFE SCIENCES RESEARCH
We offer a wide range of life science research kits that cover everything from DNA to RNA purification. Our InviSorb and InviMag products are designed to be fast and efficient, so you can get the most intact nucleic acids possible from a variety of starting materials such of tissue and plant origin.
ANIMAL HEALTH
Nucleic acid targeted analysis emerges as a robust and sensitive tool for the detection of various pathogens that impact poultry and livestock production. We offer a comprehensive and increasing spectrum of InviScreen diagnostic kits for farm animals that target bacterial andviral pathogens.
LAB SOLUTIONS
Our Sample Collection Modules and InviGenius Plus are user-friendly and valuable lab solutions that can simplify and streamline your laboratory workflows, increase accuracy with automation, and improve the quality of data generated.
