Claremont BioSolutions Announces Reagent Supply Agreement with SeraCare Life Sciences
Upland, CA (PRWEB) October 09, 2014 -- Claremont BioSolutions, LLC, pioneer of rapid sample preparation technologies, today announced an agreement with SeraCare Life Sciences to supply synthetic stool matrix for use in its quality control products. ClaremontBio has developed products for sample preparation of difficult-to-handle samples such as sputum and stool and has particular expertise in developing biologically relevant reagent formulations that mimic these sample types.
SeraCare recently released its new ACCURUN® 501 C. difficile Control – the company’s first molecular control product targeting hospital acquired infections. C. difficile testing is performed by detecting bacterial DNA isolated from stool samples, an area that ClaremontBio has been pursuing in research supported by the National Institutes of Health over the past four years.
Under the agreement, Claremont BioSolutions will supply its proprietary synthetic stool formulations to SeraCare for use in its products and for the development of future products.
