CerTest Biotec (Zaragoza, Spain) is presenting several novel products for research and diagnosis at Medlab Middle East 2023, including its VIASURE Real Time PCR Complete Solution, along with equipment and reagents for CLIA. The VIASURE Complete Solution comprises the VIASURE RNA/DNA extraction kits, the V-FLEX nucleic acid extraction and PCR set-up system, V-Lab96 Real Time PCR system and V-Smart automatic interpretation software.

The VIASURE V-FLEX system is a fully automated solution in molecular biology for nucleic acid extraction, purification and PCR set-up from biological matrix and samples. The instrument has been designed with flexible configuration, in order to meet different user needs. The VIASURE V-Lab96 Advanced Real Time PCR System with 96-well block for high sample throughput in diagnostic lab applications. VIASURE V-Lab96 allows users to analyze 96 samples simultaneously for qualitative and quantitative PCR. The VIASURE V-Smart software for the analysis and interpretation of VIASURE RT PCR assays facilitates the conversion of the PCR raw data into test results with minimal manual intervention. Additionally, VIASURE Real Time PCR Detection Kits allow for simultaneous detection of multiple targets in a broad range of multiplexing diagnostic panels, including in the area of antimicrobial resistance.

Recently, CerTest had announced that the company will run its campaign ‘More than Diagnostics’ throughout 2023 in acknowledgement of the transformation that it has gone through, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. CerTest’s ‘More than Diagnostics’ campaign expresses the company’s ambition to continue growing and advancing towards an exciting future, with people’s health remaining its key focus.
