Molecular Diagnostics

First described in 1993, the small regulatory molecules called microRNA or miRNA and other short non-coding RNA sequences (sncRNA) have become emerging biomarkers for research in all fields of medical and biological sciences. The ability of miRNAs to immediately respond to pathological processes, like tumorigenesis or inflammation, together with their stability in biofluids predetermine them to be specific and sensitive biomarkers for a wide range of diseases.

BioVendor offers a complete solution for your miRNA project: isolation, screening and quantification, as well as clinical IVD applications.

ViennaLab Diagnostics specialises in easy-to use IVD assays for the detection of genetic variants associated with:

• Genetic disorders
• Genetic predispositions
• Pharmacogenetics
• Cancer
• Human microbiome

ViennaLab kits are designed to enable precise diagnosis. They are CE/IVD labelled and meet the requirements of ISO13485 quality standards.

• RealFast™ Assays – single and low multiplex markers
  Based on real-time PCR these assays detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and copy number variations quickly and easily.
