OptiGene

OptiGene is a trusted molecular diagnostics company dedicated to the real-time detection & identification of bacteria and viruses. Technical leaders in the design and manufacture of molecular diagnostic instrumentation, assays and reagents employing isothermal DNA and RNA amplification methods. With a focus on easy to use, point-of-application molecular diagnostic solutions that provide real-time, robust and easy, detection & identification of pathogens. OptiGene was formed in 2008 to develop and deliver advanced molecular diagnostics solutions for applications across a range of market sectors, with the primary goal of providing the highest-performing instrumentation and reagents. Developing innovative products that support sensitive and specific detection of bacteria and viruses, for use in the fields of plant health, food safety, veterinary medicine, environmental monitoring and human healthcare. The company has exploited its expertise in both instrument design and enzymology to develop a sophisticated open platform that will support all isothermal amplification methods that employ target detection by fluorescence measurement. Ultra-sensitive molecular detection that has previously been constrained to laboratory use by highly qualified personnel and taking hours to complete can now be deployed to point of application and run with very little training, producing results in single minutes.
