We at Milenia Biotec care about simple rapid test development. Nevertheless, some of our colleagues originally come from plant research. That’s why we are particularly pleased when our heart-to-heart issue, lateral flow assays, meets the old love “Plant Science, Plant Pathology or Plant

The year 2020 was the first full year of blogging on our company blog, called the “Lateral Flow Test and Development Blog”. We made it to publish new articles on a regular basis and we received a lot of valuable comments on the published content from our customers and readers.

Trichinellosis is caused by Trichinella spiralis, a parasitic nematode of pork, horse and wild animals. Humans can be infected by eating raw or undercooked meat from infected animals. Most infected people do not show any symptoms.

Cysticercosis is caused by larval cysts of the tapeworm Taenia solium and is a major cause of adult onset seizures in most developing countries. Diagnosis is based on imaging findings, but in many cases it is not conclusive for the diagnosis.

Fasciolosis is one of the most frequently encountered autochthonous helminthic infections in Central Europe. The immunodiagnosis of Fasciola hepatica infections is challenged by high serological cross-reacitivity with other (hepatic) parasitological infections encountered in Central Europe,

Isothermal DNA amplification techniques have developed massively over the past decade. Point-of-Care (POC) applications in particular benefit from the advantages of these methods. As the name suggests, DNA synthesis takes place at constant temperature if isothermal amplification methods are

Recently Milenia Biotec GmbH received several customer inquiries related to the development of a COVID-19 rapid test, due to the fact, that HybriDetect may be used for the detection of RPA, LAMP or PCR amplicons. Following up these inquiries, we did a literature search on the SHERLOCK (Specific

Just recently, the TATA Group received approval for the commercial launch of “Feluda” (acronym for FNCas9 Editor Limited Uniform Detection Assay) by the Drugs Controller Gerneral of India. What is Feluda? The Feluda test is the first CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short

Milenia HybriDetect is a ready-to-use, universal dipstick based on the lateral flow technology for the detection of various molecules. It is mainly used for the detection of amplicons, generated by LAMP, RPA or PCR by our customers.

In 2006 Piepenburg et al. published a paper with the title “DNA detection using recombination Proteins” in PLoS, describing the invention of the RPA technology. It was also the very first paper citing the use of Milenia HybriDetect.
