Apr 12 2021 Read 15 Times Researchers in the University of Florida’s Department of Chemical Engineering are using Integra’s VOYAGER pipettes to help streamline their workflow and improve pipetting accuracy. Scientists in the Jain lab have developed a CRISPR-based rapid testing kit that can identify biomarkers associated with disease. Long Nguyen, Research Scientist and Lab Manager, explained: “This technology is essentially a nucleic acid biomarker detection system, and has huge scope in the medical field. Last year, we optimised this platform to detect prostate cancer, HIV and HCV, but when COVID-19 hit in March, we immediately realised that the system could be repurposed for COVID-19 testing to give people a result in under an hour.”
