ALS Life Sciences Portugal develops and manufactures rapid, reliable, and easy-to-use molecular diagnostic kits for the food & feed, environmental and clinical industries. Using PCR and LAMP technologies we provide kits for human diagnosis (CE-IVD), allergen detection, meat speciation and food & water pathogen screening (RUO). All kits provide a complete set of reagents for the qualitive detection of specific targets with high sensitivity.
Oligonucletides are short, single-stranded synthetic DNA or RNA sequences that are used in a variety of molecular biology applications such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing and molecular cloning. Our oligonucleotides are produced in ISO 8 cleanrooms according to the clients’ specifications and with quick turnaround times. All oligos are verified by ESI mass spectrometry prior to shipping ensuring the quality of each synthesis. We offer a wide range of modifications and different synthesis scales ranging from 0.05 µmol to 1 µmol for oligos of up to 100 bases.
ALS Life Sciences offers a wide range of innovative R&D services to become your partner of choice when developing customized solutions for your needs. ALS is certified according to standard NP4457, which establishes the requirements for an effective Research, Development and Innovation (R&DI) Management System. ALS Oligonucleotides fosters the development of innovative technologies and solutions tailored for biotechnology applications of different academic and industrial partners.
Through our collaboration with Invitek Molecular we offer DNA and RNA extraction kits based on silica-based spin columns and magnetic beads for both manual and automated systems. Virtually any sample type is compatible such as whole blood, serum, plasma, saliva, nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs, sputum, faeces, urine, tissue, bacterial culture and others.
ALScreen – Allergen Screen for Macadamia Nut
ALScreen – Allergen screen for Macadamia Nut provides a Real-Time PCR method for detecting Macadamia Nut (Macadamia integrifolia) DNA in food, feed and environmental samples. The method relies on the amplification of species-specific DNA. Amplification detection is based on Taqman technology, i.e., the fluorescence issued is detected upon degradation of the hydrolysis probe during PCR reaction.
