Follow on Google News | AccuVis Bio and Norgen Biotek Corp. Announced a Supply and Collaborative Partnership Agreement"The chance to work closely with Norgen Biotek, a leader in sample preparation, is a wonderful opportunity for AccuVis Bio"
By: AccuVis Bio Norgen Biotek makes best-in-class products for nucleic acid and protein sample preparation, and has recognized that high quality sample preparation is the key to high quality diagnostics. Norgen recently launched a line of diagnostic products for research use that includes kits for the diagnosis of human pathogens, plant pathogens and food-borne pathogens. Now, with this new relationship between Norgen Biotek and AccuVis Bio, Norgen will focus on the development of HIV point-of-care human diagnostic kits for use in resource-limited areas, as well as for home use testing. Furthermore, these new technologies will rely on the use of non-invasive urine-based specimens for ease of use and cost reduction. Norgen's purification technology is extremely well suited for use in resource-limited settings, as Norgen's resin is able to isolate and concentrate DNA, RNA and proteins from samples without the use of centrifugation or other equipment. "The chance to work closely with Norgen Biotek, a leader in sample preparation, is a wonderful opportunity for AccuVis Bio. Not only will this partnership provide us the knowledge and tools we need to manufacture bioconsumable kits to internationally recognized standards, but will also allow us to work closely with Norgen to carry out ground-breaking research to develop novel urine-based HIV diagnostic tests" said Dr. Abdalla Alnajjar, Chairman of AccuVis Bio. "We are very delighted to have joined talent and resources with AccuVis Bio on this this very important research project. This agreement will help in accelerating the development of such an urgently needed HIV diagnostic kit. The quality of a diagnostic test is only as good as the quality of the sample preparation, and as leaders in sample preparation we are in an ideal position to make first-in-class diagnostics, especially for resource limited areas." said Dr. Haj-Ahmad, President & CEO of Norgen Biotek. "Currently, we produce the leading products for the isolation of high quality RNA, DNA and proteins as well as microorganisms from urine, and therefore we anticipate the development of first-in-class urine-based diagnostic tests for the detection of HIV in resource limited areas, as well as for home use." Added Dr. Haj-Ahmad. Norgen Biotek Corp Norgen Biotek, an ISO 13485:2003, ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 15189:2007 registered company, is a rapidly growing Canadian biotech company committed to providing innovative products and services to the life sciences and pharmaceutical industry. Certification to all three of these ISO standards strengthens Norgen's commitment to uphold the highest quality in manufacturing best-in-class products for sample preparation and molecular diagnostics, as well as commitment to providing highly competent R&D and diagnostic testing services.
