Elisabeth Pharmacon – DNA diagnostics and PCR products

Elisabeth Pharmacon Ltd. is a member of the international Elisabeth Pharmacon Group and was founded in London in 2012. The company produces DNA diagnostics under the brand name EliGene and PCR Workstation under the brand name Zephyrus.

Since product quality has top priority at Elisabeth Pharmacon, clinical studies are available for all CE-certified kits. Production, testing, packaging and delivery are carried out in accordance with the ISO 9001: 2015 and ISO 13485: 2016 quality system. This procedure guarantees consistently high quality from batch to batch. All EliGene products come with a certificate of analysis summarizing the conditions and results of the quality assurance tests.

The advantages of EliGene isolation kits include not only certification of the in vitro diagnostic agent, but also high yields and a minimized risk of inhibition during the PCR. Column isolation enables robust and rapid isolation of DNA. The isolation procedures were tested directly on a variety of clinical samples covering blood, urine, sperm and numerous types of swabs. EliGene brand detection kits use internal controls to monitor the extraction process and check for possible PCR inhibitions. The DNA/RNA from the pathogen and the internal control are amplified in a PCR tube at the same time. Using hot start technology minimizes the risk of a non-specific reaction and offers ultimate sensitivity of 1-10 copies of the nucleic acid/reaction. The use of EliGene LC kits from Elisabeth Pharmacon enables complete detection in less than an hour.

The Zephyrus brand PCR Box was developed in collaboration with leading technologists as a new generation of PCR workstations. The decontamination can be programmed via the control unit, which works fully automatically for a specified time. With the Zephyrus PCR Box Harmony, germicidal UV rays that extend the life of Plexiglas are used very efficiently. The ingenious opening cover of the PCR workstation offers several advantages. The mobility of the arms in the box is much higher. The samples are better protected against DNA contamination. Variability and a new design allow you to easily replace the Plexiglas part of the PCR workstation at the end of its service life. The control unit monitors the status of the decontamination, the life of the lamp and manages the safety of the laboratory staff. Elisabeth Pharmacon's Zephyrus is a trusted partner for your laboratory.
