The DNA & RNA amplification revolution
TwistDx is the provider of Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) a new isothermal DNA amplification & detection technology that offers the following benefits:
| Speed | Results in 10 to 15 minutes |
|---|---|
| Sensitivity | Single molecule detection |
| Portability |
Isothermal technology with battery-powered instrument or disposable test format |
| Low Cost | Little or no hardware required |
| Simplicity | Stable lyophilised reagents |
| Robustness |
To sample contaminants and temperate fluctuations |
RPA therefore offers a portable alternative to PCR which is ideally suited to point of use molecular assays for IVD, Veterinary, Food Safety, Biodefence and Agricultural applications
TwistDx makes RPA accessible to end-users in the form of TwistAmp™ kits. The kits are configured with options for electrophoresis, fluorescent and lateral flow detection methods and for DNA and RNA targets. TwistAmp™ kits contain all the reagents (apart from target-specific primers and probes) researchers need in order to develop their own rapid, highly sensitive and specific RPA assays.
