Fully Automated Platform for Molecular Diagnostic Laboratories

Real-time PCR system receives CE mark

A fully integrated solution, the new and completely automated RIDA®UNITY system combines sample extraction, PCR setup, real-time PCR and result evaluation in a common workflow. Leading biotechnology companyR-Biopharm AGhas announced that it has received the CE mark and will begin selling the RIDA®UNITY system for molecular detection of infectious diseases throughout Europe.

"With the RIDA®UNITY system, R-Biopharm is purposefully taking the path from a provider of individual solutions to a system provider in the field of molecular diagnostics," stated Christian Dreher, CEO of R-Biopharm. "We are very happy to make this system solution available to all molecular biology laboratories throughout Europe."

Unique combination of different tools

RIDA®UNITY系统将患者样本分析的各种步骤结合到一个集成的工作流程中——核酸提取、PCR设置、随后的实时PCR和结果评估全自动运行，无需用户干预。现成的RIDA®UNITY试剂大大减少了实验室的制备时间。The RIDA®UNITY Universal Extraction Kit allows the universal extraction of nucleic acids from both gastrointestinal and respiratory patient samples in a common workflow and was specifically developed and optimised byR-Biopharm. Up to six different RIDA®UNITY PCR assays can now be individually combined and processed.

Simple and intuitive user software

The software especially developed for the RIDA®UNITY system supports the user with its simple and intuitive operation - from loading the required consumables and positioning the PCR reagents on the deck up to evaluating the final results. The RIDA®UNITY system supports molecular diagnostic laboratories with its flexibility in dealing with quickly changing requirements and thus noticeably facilitates everyday work in the laboratory.

R-Biopharm临床诊断副总裁Lena Kastl博士说:“今天，我们终于可以展示来自内部和外部来源的不同团队和许多同事的惊人努力的结果。”“R-Biopharm多年的产品开发和制造专业知识，以及与各种合作伙伴的富有成效的合作，使这种新的分子诊断平台的推出成为可能。由于其高效、直观和通用的应用选项，未来RIDA®UNITY将显著支持和改善实验室的工作流程和能力。”

The RIDA®UNITY System, the RIDA®UNITY Universal Extraction Kit and the RIDA®UNITY Bacterial Stool Panel are nowavailable for sale throughout Europe.
