Product news

Streck, Inc. and GenomePrecision Technology, an integrated molecular diagnostics distributor in mainland China, have signed a distribution agreement for Streck’s cell stabilization, molecular, urinalysis and flow cytometry products.

Streck’s cell stabilization products include Cell-Free DNA Urine Preserve; Cell-Free DNA BCT® and Cell-Free RNA BCT® products which stabilize nucleated blood cells, allowing isolation of high-quality nucleic acids for a wide range of downstream applications commonly used in clinical research studies, drug discovery and diagnostic assay development.

Streck’s Molecular Products division is focused on the generation of rapid diagnostic tools that impact healthcare decisions. Streck’s molecular product line includes the ARM-D® Kits for the detection of antibiotic resistance genes by multiplex real-time PCR and the soon-to-launch rapid real-time PCR instrument, the Zulu RT™, capable of 40 cycle reactions in 20 minutes or less. In addition, Streck is developing a library of diagnostics tools that will soon be available in mainland China and the rest of the world.

Streck also offers a comprehensive flow cytometry control product line that ensures the accuracy and reproducibility of all steps involved in the process of immunophenotyping by flow cytometry.

HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types.  Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays. Find the best flow cytometers, cell counters and cell sorters in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Nucleic Acid ConcentrationImmunophenotypingMolecular DiagnosticsMolecular diagnostics use an individual’s genetic code and gene expression to diagnose and monitor diseases. The technique is used increasingly in the field of infectious diseases and oncology, as well as areas such as coagulation, HLA typing and pharmacogenomics. Molecular diagnostics plays a pivotal role in personalized medicine.Real-Time PCRReal-time PCR (RT-PCR) is a technique used to amplify and simultaneously quantify nucleic acids in real time. It is a key tool in gene expression analysis, pathogen detection, and diagnostics. RT-PCR allows for the detection of specific RNA or DNA sequences with high sensitivity and specificity. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best Real-Time PCR systems; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Antibiotic ResistanceAntibiotic resistance poses a significant threat to public health driving innovation and change through antibiotic stewardship efforts. Ongoing research and diagnostic efforts focus on new treatments and detection methods. Explore antibiotic resistance research and diagnostic tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.MultiplexingMultiplexing refers to the ability to measure multiple targets or analytes simultaneously in a single experiment. This technique is valuable for high-throughput screening, diagnostics, and complex assays, as it increases efficiency and data quality. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best multiplexing products, compare tools, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.
