Quantifying Pathogens in Water
6 Apr 2017
Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) has enabled researchers in Germany to develop an automated DNA amplification and chemiluminescence microarray platform that can simultaneously identify and quantify multiple viral and bacterial contaminants in water. Watch this video to learn about this new multiplex technology which has been developed by Dr. Michael Seidel at the Technical University of Munich’s (TUM) Institute for Hydrochemistry (Head Prof. Dr. Niessner).
About the company
TwistDx
TwistDx designs and manufactures Recombinase Polymerase Amplification or RPA, a multiplexable, isothermal DNA/RNA amplification and detection technology that works amazingly fast without the need of a thermocycler. RPA is a portable alternative to PCR and is ideally suited to point-of-use molecular assays for digital, microfluidics, agriculture, veterinary and biodefense applications.
