Mawi Dna Technologies

Description

• The team at Mawi DNA Technologies decided to challenge the paradigm by transforming a well-established but inefficient sample collection tool, swabs, into one that leverages the ease and convenience of swab collection but with none of the disadvantages such as:1- Swabs often yield insufficient quantities of DNA for proper analysis, resulting in the need for resampling. 2- Mouths contain a significant amount of bacteria, can multiply if the swab has to endure extended transportation time. Thus reducing overall DNA quality and affect the results of costly downstream assays such as Next Generation Sequencing.3- Processing swabs in the lab can be a time consuming and labor intensive task because the swab itself needs to be digested before the DNA is analyzed. The cumulative effect of additional processing time over hundreds or thousands of samples per day leads to reduced capacity and escalating costs.4-Long term storage of swabs requires expensive infrastructure including refrigeration or controlled humidity environments. This adds to the operational inefficiency which ultimately eats into the bottom line.Our innovation does not stop at resolving the drawbacks of traditional buccal swab collection but also blood collection, especially for sample collection from newborn babies. Our product is able to achieve similar levels of DNA yield and quality, with minimal bacterial content. However, unlike blood our product is non-invasive and has no refrigeration requirements for either transportation or long-term storage. One of the main advantages of swab-based collection retained in our product is the ability of either self or assisted collection across all population groups including infants, elderly, and mentally or physically compromised patients. This functionality allows for better understanding of population genomics leading to more information that can help advance personalized medicine and population genetics research.
