b'TECHNOLOGYAir-Dryable Direct DNA qPCR Plant, Meridian Life ScienceCommercial Launch: May 2021Meridian Life Sciences new Air-Dryable Direct DNA qPCR Plant is an inhibitor-tolerant mix designed for direct DNA quantitation from crude plant lysate. It allows highly sensitive qPCR directly on these plant lysates without nucleic acid purification. Not only that, but assays can be dried down and stored at room temperature without effecting the assays performance. Containing excipients and an optimized buffer system, the product is compatible with either oven or air drying. DNA in edible plants have been the driving force for qPCR technique introductions in plant researchand direct amplification of DNA from plant samples is a fast and convenient technique that avoids the need for time-consuming and expensive nucleic acid extractions prior to qPCR. In addition, Air-Dryable Direct DNA qPCR Plant AgVoice, AgVoice Global is the first commercially available mix designed for devel-Commercial Launch: October 2021 oping ambient-temperature stable assays for the direct quantitation of DNA from plants.Launched in mid-October to the Apple App store, AgVoice isCustomers can therefore save time, reduce costs and the worlds first service that enables precision breeding capabili- control their entire manufacturing workflow while deliver-ties just by speaking your reports in any field or environment.ing the same or better performance as compared to other Organizations often have difficulty capturing and sharingassay formats. Theres no need for expensive, time-con-quality data, which affects all aspects of agriculture and evensuming DNA extraction steps or complicated lyophilization has reaches into the food industry. AgVoice acts as a voice-to- machinery to get highly sensitive reproducible results. data capture and an analytic service to help food and agriculture specialists capture actionable insights on the go.One convenience added? Its hands free. The phone stays in the field workers pocket throughout the day. AgVoice recog-nizes and picks up agriculture-specific terms, including scientific terms, and works with zero internet connectivity. Its also user correctable for real-time data accuracy. AgVoice has contracts with three of the four largest seed companies in the world, whose breeders cover 30% more plot inspections per day while performing up to 400 inspections. AgVoice hopes to transform two-person jobs to a one-person job by delivering 50% improvement in performance and three times faster business decisions. Awarded a patent in August 2021, AgVoices advanced speech technology is first to market in the seed industry and can be scaled to meet any need.26/ SEEDWORLD.COMJANUARY 2022'
