Genekam Biotechnology AG products

Genekam RNA isolation kit is based on magnetic beads. This kit is developed and manufactured through Genekam Biotechnology AG. It can be used on different kinds of samples e.g. serum, plasma, blood, tissue, cell cultures, vaccines, biopsies, oral swabs, nasopharyngeal samples etc. Isolated RNA is very pure to be used in different applications of real time as well as conventional PCR. It is simple to use and does not need expensive instrument except a magnetic rack. The isolated RNA can be isolated to conduct the analysis from different fields like virology (HCV, Influenza, Zika virus, dengue, West Nile virus, TBE, Ebola, Rabies, Rift valley virus, Mumps, Measles, Rubella), bacteriology (Mycobacterium, Salmonella, Listeria, Mycoplasma, Borrelia, Chlamydia), parasitology (malaria, anaplasma, babesia), oncology (circulating tumor cells), cardiology (endothelial cells, immunology (lymphocytes, monocytes), regenerative medicine, medical entomology, neurology, cell cultures etc.

Human polyclonal antibodies are being used as therapy for last century successfully and they are produced at industrial scale from different companies around the world. These pooled sera of many thousands of donors are being used to develop these polyclonal therapies, which are in a position to reduce many different infections as they are supposed to create immunological molecules of B-cells response against different pathogens and other relevant targets. Genekam has developed hardware option to isolate these antibodies at hospital level for pandemic viruses. SARS Hunter is in position to isolate the polyclonal specific antibodies from full recovered patients from coronaviruses as the recovery of these patient is occurring because the immune system launches its successful response leading to neutralization of coronaviruses, hence neutralizing antibodies.

Human circulating tumour cells (CTC) in blood are an important indicator of the progression of a cancer and in some cases, these may be an indication of so called sleeping tumour cells i.e. it does mean that there is an active disease. Therefore PCR tests are being conducted in many laboratories around the world for presence of markers of such blood cells. As the number of such cell is very low, therefore there is a need of enrichment of these cells before doing RNA isolation.

Genekam has developed a number of ready to use PCR kits to detect different kinds of corona viruses including SARS virus. The outbreaks of the Middle East SARS virus in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt etc need an urgent attention to find out the mode of transmission, source of transmission and other scientific issues. It is well known fact that bats are natural carriers of corona viruses particularly SARS virus caused fatal disease in many countries around the world in human beings. Not only this, one should test avian species and other wild life also for the presence of SARS viruses, therefore first method of the choice is to seek the answer whether a particularly organism carries at all a corona viruses. If it is positive and the next question will be which corona virus it carries. Such question regarding the kind of virus can be answered through ready to use PCR kits of Genekam Biotechnology AG.

Isolation of circulating tumour cell kit with two markers and PCR Kit for Biomarkers of Melanoma from CTC. Human circulating tumour cells (CTC) in blood are an important indicator of the progression of a cancer and in some cases, these may be an indication of so called sleeping tumour cells i.e. it does mean that there is an active disease. Therefore PCR tests are being conducted in many laboratories around the world for presence of markers of such blood cells.
