If our work no longer needs to be used for COVID-19 detection, we are still very much looking forward to working with Opentrons Collaborate on this project.

As a product manager for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zymoresearch.com\/pages\/total-rna-seq-library-prep\">RiboFree RNA-Seq Kit<\/a>, I am fascinated by the price of OT-2 and attracted by the open source community of <a href=\"https:\/\/opentrons.com\/customers\">Opentrons<\/a>. During the initial verification period of the project, it performed very well in all aspects, but due to the outbreak, I had to temporarily change the research direction and instead invest in assisting the new coronavirus detection project.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Opentrons: Is what you do now different from your daily routine? <\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Casey:<\/strong> Our work now is to submit an FDA Emergency Use Authorization application for the COVID-19 testing workflow.

DNA\/RNA protectants ensure virus inactivation, thereby ensuring the safety of those conducting diagnostic tests; all the test personnel need to do is decontaminate the outside of the test tube to ensure that the sample is safe to use. We attach great importance to ensuring the safety and accuracy of the entire diagnostic process, starting from sample collection.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you would like to deploy the same Opentrons system in your own lab, please contact covid-19@opentrons.com.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zymo Research provides biomedical tools and services to researchers working on COVID-19 testing, including support for Opentrons customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":548,"template":"","class_list":["post-547","case","type-case","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 -
