Technologies and Research Topics

The development of non-chaotropic chemistry for nucleic acid sample preparation by Invitek is a major milestone in the history of DNA/RNA purification methods. Over the years several additional unique and proprietary reagent systems for applications in molecular diagnostics, drug discovery and Life Science research have been developed and are protected by multiple patents. The different technologies are combined in various ways to achieve the desired results for our customers.

Core technologies and products

Non-chaotropic chemistry

  • shorter protocols through reduced salt concentrations
  • higher yields from complex/precious samples
  • more intact chromosomal DNA

MSB® - Minimal salt binding

  • the fastest way to purify DNA fragments
  • excellent purity without washing

RTP® - Ready to prep

  • Extraction Tube provides all lysis components and stabilizes included Carrier RNA and standards at RT
  • safer sample handling due to reduced hands-on steps

PSP® - DNA sample stabilization

  • stabilization of host/pathogen DNA at RT in stool, saliva or swab samples
  • preservation of bacterial titers at the time of sampling

InviTrap® - Selective removal of DNA

  • highly purified RNA for better RT-PCR results
  • no DNase digestion required

InviMag® - Magnetic beads

  • manual and automated DNA and RNA purification

RNAsure® - Viral RNA protection

  • immediate lysis and viral RNA stabilization in biological samples
  • RNA resistant to degradation for up to 6 month at RT
