There is an increasing need for diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic tools with the rising prevalence of infectious diseases around the world. Point-of-care technologies are particularly ideal for the diagnostic of infectious diseases, as they allow the development of fast, simple and portable diagnostic tests. On the other hand, preventive tools, including mRNA vaccines, seek for the isolation of large quantities of nucleic acid in a controlled manned and according to quality standards. For each of these ground-breaking technologies, powerful tools and appropriate assays must be developed to fulfill specific requirements. Thermo Fisher Scientific develops and produces paramagnetic monodisperse beads – Dynabeads™ - that are used in diagnostic immunoassays and molecular assays, next generation sequencing or nucleic acid isolation applications. The present project aims at demonstrating that Dynabeads™ are a powerful and reliable tool for the specific capture of nucleic acid in molecular diagnostic and next generation sequencing applications. Documented evidence of the cost-benefit of Dynabeads and demonstration of advantages for customized Dynabeads products will enable our customer to expedite assay commercialization.
