In the field of laboratory diagnostics, before conducting a test, steps such as sampling, storage conditions, and preparation prior to testing are of great importance in preparing a laboratory sample. Considering the importance of sample quality for performing molecular tests (PCR) and the use of DNA and RNA extraction kits approved by the Food and Drug Administration and the General Administration of Medical Equipment of the country, this company has succeeded in producing various types of extraction kits used in the field of molecular diagnostics.
Paying attention to the efficiency of the extraction process, the levels of inhibitors, and the optimal conditions for internal control extraction is of great importance in the manufacturing of diagnostic kits. If these factors are not based on standards, it can call the validity of the result into question; thus, the test must be repeated, which incurs costs, consumables, human resources, and time.
Considering the importance of sample quality in the diagnostic stages of tuberculosis, the knowledge-based company ap-rad has designed and manufactured a Bacterial DNA Extraction Kit with the aim of specifically identifying Mycobacteria (including Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and non-tuberculous mycobacteria) and extracting it with high purity percentages from upper and lower respiratory samples and body fluids of patients exhibiting symptoms of the disease. Also, considering the importance of sample quality in the diagnostic stages of genomic diseases, with the aim of rapid identification and high purity percentage, it has designed and manufactured a Genomic DNA Extraction Kit and a Genomic RNA Extraction Kit.
