November 2016—U.K.-based Arcis Biotechnology launched its Arcis DNA Blood Kit (IVD) for preparation of DNA from blood using a novel three-minute, two-step system.
The kit is sold in a ready-to-use format and enables users to stabilize and extract nucleic acid from fresh or frozen whole blood samples in just three minutes, without the need for prior sample preparation steps. Arcis DNA Blood Kit is also suitable for specimens that have been stored in EDTA and heparin-containing solutions.
The kit is nonhazardous and ships and stores at room temperature. Designed with point-of-care in vitro diagnostics in mind, DNA extracted using the kit is also suitable for use in PCR or other applications.
