Dutch firm Molecular Biology Systems validating rapid thermal cycler for COVID-19 testing

Press/Media: Research › Academic

Description

Dutch company Molecular Biology Systems is in the process of validating its shoebox-sized NextGenPCR instrument for rapid SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic testing, claiming the system could potentially process more than 22,000 samples in a day by performing plate-based thermal cycling in less than eight minutes.

....................

In addition, in a research evaluation of the NextGenPCR instrument published in The Journal of Microbiological Methods in February, a group at The University of Groningen found equivalent sensitivity compared to a standard thermal cycler, the Eppendorf Mastercycler Nexus PCR instrument.
