BioEcho – Focus on extremely fast DNA/RNA tests

BioEcho develops single-spin and 96/384-well kits based on the proprietary single-step EchoLUTION nucleic acid extraction process. Highly superior to the commonly used Silica-based solutions (bind-wash-elute), the whole procedure is extremely fast. Washing steps are not required and the isolated inhibitor-free RNA/DNA is detected with increased sensitivity. Due to the expertise of its founders and employees, BioEcho also uses their know-how to support companies with limited research capacities or specialized scientific knowledge. Especially in times like these, BioEcho helps to accelerate accurate tests on certain RNA/DNA viruses or pathogens.
