BioEcho develops single-spin and 96-well kits for the isolation of DNA from different starting materials. In contrast to common bind-wash-elute procedures, their proprietary EchoLUTION single-step technology avoids the use of inhibitory or harmful process reagents and does not require washing steps. 90% of the disposal costs are saved as well as more than 40% of the pipet tip consumption costs. The inhibitor-free DNA enables lowered time-to-result in enzyme-dependent genomic analyses such as PCR or NGS.
