While we attempt to develop our intellectual, experiential and administrative capacities right now, Eurekan Biotechnologies already delivers the following products and services:
A. BIOTECH Products & Applications
CoVAMP: Eurekan Biotech collaborates with ACEGID, NCDC, WHO to validate 30-min colorimetric MDx test for COVID-19 Diagnosis
Together with our collaborating partner in Nigeria – Africa Center of Excellence for the Genomics of Infectious Diseases (ACEGID), we have been able to adapt, optimize and validate CoVAMP (CoVID-19 colorimetric isothermal AMPlification) - a 30-min molecular diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2. The test uses a single isothermal temperature for cDNA synthesis following RNA extraction with standard RNA extraction kits, or with a rapid extraction buffer integrated with CoVAMP.
Nucleic acid amplification in presumptively positive COVID-19 samples can be detected visually from the colorimetric assay – with a significant change in colour observed in the reaction tube.
Olumide optimizing the visually detectable CoVAMP colorimetric assay on synthetic COVID-19 controls.
Following an initial validation exercise at ACEGID in May, 2020; additional validation exercises were conducted at Nigeria CDC's National Reference Laboratory (NRL) from July to November, 2020. At the end of the validation exercises, CoVAMP was adjudged to have comparable results with the current gold standard and reference tests in use.
CoVAMP is also being processed as a CE-IVD kit by our OEM partners in Europe as a ready to use clinically validated kit for COVID-19 in vitro diagnostics.
