DNAiTECH S-TECH - Sample Preparation Technology for Point-of-Care Diagnostics
S-TECH is an innovative sample preparation technology designed for point-of-care diagnostics, offering a hands-free solution that eliminates the need for additional laboratory equipment. This technology employs low-binding hydrophilic membranes for size exclusion, utilizing a gentle vacuum-based method for sample processing. S-TECH systems are compact and cost-efficient alternatives to traditional SEC columns, spin columns, and ultracentrifugation. With filtration cutoffs ranging from 5000nm to 20nm, the technology can capture a wide range of particles, including viruses. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for various diagnostic applications, including nucleic acid extraction, which involves using two membrane types and omits centrifuges and spin columns. The S-TECH kit includes units with customizable membrane pore sizes, making it adaptable for specific sample processing needs. It also supports buffer exchange for common assays such as PCR, ELISA, EM, and PAGE.
Using DNAiTECH's S-TECH, it is simple to:
- Isolate cells,
- isolate subcellular particles,
- extract nucleic acids,
- purify and concentrate samples,
- buffer exchange for PCR, ELISA, EM, PAGE, etc,
- process volumes from 0.1-20 ml (depending on sample complexity),
- recover the sample in 50-200 µl,
- process samples on bench or on ice,
- process large volumes of environmental samples.
S-TECH utilizes low-binding hydrophilic membranes for size exclusion, and is a gentle method relying on vacuum for sample processing. It has a small footprint and is a cost-effective alternative to SEC columns, spin columns, and ultracentrifugation. S-TECH membranes are available in various filtration cutoff sizes, including 5000nm, 1000nm, 450nm, 200nm, 100nm, 50nm, and 20nm. The S-20 membrane is certified for virus capture down to 20nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The S-TECH device has a user-friendly design that allows for easy loading of samples. Vacuum is applied using a luer-lock syringe and a vac-lock device, and the sample can be loaded directly into the device's well or with an attached 15ml reservoir.
With its innovative technology and versatile capabilities, the S-TECH is the perfect solution for all your sample preparation needs in point-of-care diagnostics.
