SIBA® isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology - Licensing opportunity

ESPOO, FINLAND - Feb 20, 2017 - Orion Diagnostica is presenting its novel, exclusive, IPR protected, isothermal amplification technology SIBA® at the 24th International Molecular Medicine Tri-Conference 20-22 February 2017 in San Francisco (booth #223). The technology can be used to detect both DNA and RNA targets.

Orion Diagnostica is now offering licensing opportunities for SIBA technology in human IVD and other fields ( link to partnering website ).

Recent studies show that SIBA allows rapid turn around times of less than 15 minutes even for RNA targets ( article link ). The exceptional specificity of SIBA of even 1-2 base pair resolution can be used to distinguish between highly similar targets in eg. strain typing or mutation detection. Rapid assay development of less than four weeks has been proven ( article link ). First CE marked IVD products based on SIBA show excellent performance and robustness employing a low cost device ( article link ). SIBA technology allows the development of a truly cost competive system even for Point-of-Care (POC) or in the field use.
