Meridian Bioscience has introduced its new Air-Dryable Direct RNA/DNA qPCR Blood Mix which has been designed for the development of molecular diagnostic assays that are stable at room temperature.
The new blood mix enables the direct detection of RNA from whole blood samples and is compatible with air-drying in an oven. It also maintains high activity and sensitivity.
The diagnostic assays developed with this blood mix directly amplify RNA from crude whole blood, serum or plasma.
Meridian noted that qPCR has the ability to screen directly from blood samples.
