Personalized Medicine
 Responsiveness to drugs and clinical treatments is dependent on patient genetics. The development of companion diagnostics for detecting patient gene polymorphisms (SNPs) and then customizing treatment is a revolution in medicine happening today.

Infectious Disease Diagnostics
 The identification of microbial pathogens (bacterial, viral, other) is possible by SmartAmp. The ability to discriminate single-nucleotide differences means that specific strains and drug-resistant variants can be identified.

Lifestyle Genetic Counseling
Understanding your risk factors for developing obesity, heart problems, chronic inflammatory diseases and others ailments are all being linked to patient gene polymorphisms (SNPs). These genetic markers can be analyzed by SmartAmp assays. Clinical starting material can be blood, buccal swab or nail filings. If you know the genetic marker, SmartAmp is an extremely simple, highly accurate, low cost genotyping alternative.

Food & Environmental Testing
 The sensitivity of SmartAmp makes it useful for detection of environmental or food contaminants. Assays are simple to set-up and inexpensive to perform.
|
Point of Care Testing
The SmartAmp assay is fast, works directly from whole blood, and is simple to interpret. DNAFORM's instrumentation partner has a prototype point-of-care device based on single-use disposable micro-fluidic chips. Please inquire if you have an interest in this kind of technology application.
