CUSTOM ASSAY DEVELOMENT

Cenetron has an active research and development program that is focused on the custom development of assays for pharmaceutical clients. We have developed and validated real-time assay for clinically relevant SNPs used in randomizing patients in Hepatitis C clinical trials. Development of DNA sequencing-based assays for viral resistance testing and specialized immunoassays is also offered at Cenetron. We recently constructed a new research and development laboratory at Cenetron, specially designed for the development of custom molecular tests.

ARMORED RNA®

Cenetron Diagnostics is the primary inventor of Armored RNA®, which provides custom, stable, quantitative RNA controls for diagnostic assays. This groundbreaking technology provides degradation-resistant quality controls and standards for molecular diagnostic testing.

Armored RNA® stabilizes custom RNA sequences in protective utilizes bacteriophage coat protein. Custom RNA targets form non-infectious, pseudo-viral particles to create ideal standards and controls for RNA viral assays. Armored RNA® is specifically for use as positive controls or quantitative internal spiked controls for amplification and detection using RT-PCR.
