Why consider an FDA-cleared device for your genetic tests and molecular diagnostics

The Oragene™•Dx and ORAcollect™•Dx devices have US FDA 510(k) general clearance for prescription and over-the-counter (direct-to-consumer) uses. This designation allows this device to be used by commercial partners and legally marketed with their therapeutics or devices in conjunction with their product's intended use. Discover how an FDA-cleared device may offer advantages such as:

  • Validated performance and ease of use
  • Reduced timeline to validate your Laboratory Developed Assay (LDT)
  • Cost-effective market path for your genetic test
  • Reduced regulatory burden when filing an FDA submission for your assay
  • Customization offerings for your test (branding and fulfillment services)

Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.Genetic TestingMolecular DiagnosticsMolecular diagnostics use an individual’s genetic code and gene expression to diagnose and monitor diseases. The technique is used increasingly in the field of infectious diseases and oncology, as well as areas such as coagulation, HLA typing and pharmacogenomics. Molecular diagnostics plays a pivotal role in personalized medicine.Salivasaliva analysis
