State of the art equipment
Novogenia uses the latest technologies, in order to ensure the best possible accuracy of the analysis.
Reagents
Reagents are prepared in UV decontaminated chambers, so their contamination is prevented
Saskia - Laboratory
Saskia is a laboratory assistant with a university degree in Molecular Bio-sciences from the University of Salzburg. She takes care of calibrations, routine and ISO Compliance.
DNA Extraction
The DNA extraction is fully automated. The largest of the five DNA extraction robots can handle almost 200 saliva samples in two hours. The result is high quality pure DNA, which can be further processed.
Daniel - Management
Dr. Daniel Wallerstorfer is biotechnologist and he is the managing director of the laboratory and the group of companies. He is responsible for the scientific supervision and for the product development.
Routine process
A full 384 well plate loaded with 75 customers DNA sample is prepared in a real-time cycle for analysis. The results of the genetic analysis are ready for interpretation 1.5 hours later.
Meeting room
International meetings and product training sessions will be held on webcam and flat screen TV. Difficult medical issues can be effectively discussed.
Liquid handling
Robots carry out pipetting steps, in order to avoid human errors. All reagents and plates are additionally barcoded, to prevent mixing the samples.
Extraction preparation
Cheek swabs are prepared for automated extraction. Nearly 200 samples are extracted in one run. Having five extractors, the total capacity is 100.000 swabs per month.
Eradication slope
The remaining swabs are stored until the analysis is complete. If there is insufficient quantity or quality of the DNA obtained on the first attempt, the process is repeated with the second swab.
Maria - Design
Maria is an industrial designer with a university degree of the FH Joanneum Graz. She is in charge of packaging, design, and ISO compliance. Maria leads a team of six software developers.
Automated processing
Through an automated processing of the queue, the laboratory is operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It can easily perform up to 50,000 analyzes per month.
Creative team
The Novogenia team consists of young, creative people, having high quality demands and ambitious goals for the future of human genetics. We are always looking for new, valuable members.
Sample acceptance
Upon arrival, each sample is provided with a barcode, and the identity of the patient is kept encrypted. The processing is done in the lab with anonymous barcodes.
Daniela and Rene - Laboratory
Daniela is a geneticist responsible for the acceptance pf the samples, DNA extraction, preparation, equipment maintenance and routine processes. Rene is also a geneticist in charge of the routine and the new developments in the field of genetic testing and technology
Sample receipt
Currently, up to 5000 genetic samples per month are stored in analysis racks for further processing. Depending on the type of the analyses and the quality of the sample, the time from sample receipt to the dispatching of the results is maximum 14 days.
Florian - Laboratory
Florian is a geneticist and managed the routine processes, software developments, scientific research and the establishment of new products and technologies.
Thomas - Laboratory
Thomas is a geneticist and works in the area of routine diagnostics, sample acceptance, analysis and product development.
