Application Area:

Diagnosis of Francisella Noatunensis Subs. Orientalist in farmed Nile tilapia

It is amazing technique that enabled me to perform rapid, sensitive and specific diagnosis of Francisellosis in infected Nile Tilapia. I will definitely use it more and more in future research and I recommend it to all fish diseases diagnosticians.

Sensitivity

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Blood virus

It has a higher sensitivity and reaction rate. In blood virus detection, we havemade a major breakthrough. But, we want to continue to increase the sensitivity(now is 10 copies), can you give us some suggestions?

Manufacturer's Response

Hi Xiaofeng Cheung, thanks for the review, for tips on how to improve your assay further please consult our website RPA assay optimisation information (https://www.twistdx.co.uk/docs/default-source/twistamp-manuals/newappendix_2_.pdf?sfvrsn=8), if you have any further enquiries please contact us at techsupport@twistdx.co.uk

Great product. Utility as an infield diagnostic has huge potential.

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Research and Development

RPA is a great technology, with a lot of potential, especially in the diagnostics field. Once reliable probes are designed, the technology is easy to use. TwistDx offer good after sales service. Currently still fairly expensive for agricultural diagnostics, it would be great to see the price come down a little. Licensing is a potential bottleneck for us.

Good product that consistently works. Expensive reagents compared to other NAAT, but is unique.

Application Area:

DNA amplification for diagnostic device development

Product comes with clear instructions and is easy to use. The service from Twist is typically high-quality and they are relatively fast to respond to issues. The kits are expensive, but it is the only place to purchase them.

Application Area:

Diagnostic

This easy to use product allows the amplification of DNA in an isothermal configuration in a fast and sensitive manner. The technology relies on recombinases proteins to unwind the double strand DNA in search for homology with the single strand oligonucleotides (i.e. primers and/or probes) obviating the need for an initial denaturation step at 95 C. In addition, the enzymes are lyophilized offering a longer stability and allowing the implementation of this product in microfluidic platforms for molecular diagnostic purposes at point-of care.
