We implemented a machine for RNA isolation

To diagnose coronavirus by PCR, the RNA of the potentially present virus must be first isolated from the patient’s sample. This is the most time-consuming procedure in the entire test if done manually.

The machine we have created is capable of isolating RNA from 96 samples in 16 minutes in automatic mode and without the participation of a laboratory assistant. The working system has successfully passed technical tests and is now undergoing clinical trials.
