What do you want to do?Do it yourself
-
Quality control
Companies with long supply chains such as phytocosmetics ones, need to control their suppliers to ensure the best final product quality!
WonderGene portable lab and its user-friendly kits can help them to oversee the entire quality control process, autonomously and in a affordable way!
-
Agriculture
Agricultural entrepreneurs want to guarantee to their customers the pureness of their products!
WonderGene offers a portable lab and user-friendly kits to certify crop varieties even without any previous experience in genetic analyses!
-
Illegal trade
Illegal wildlife trade is a major and widespread threat to many species. Nowadays, new technologies can help to fight it.
Borders and transit points can be equipped with WonderGene portable labs and its specific kits, to check the species origin of goods in just few hours!
-
Wildlife conservation
Tropical forests contain more than one-half of the earth’s species of plants and animals. On the contrary, molecular labs are a rarity!
With WonderGene portable lab, researchers can perform genetic analyses directly in the field, even in a muddy jungle!
-
Communicable disease outbreaks
Early detection of communicable diseases is key to outbreaks prevention. Many local and international organizations working in the field, especially in remote areas, lack easy access to analysis labs.
WonderGene portable lab can boost early detection when and where is most needed.
-
Microplastics
Microplastics are persistent pollutants of our marine ecosystems. They are also dangerous vectors for pathogens spreading, affecting both fishstocks and human health.
WonderGene portale lab and its tailored kits can be a key tool for real-time detection of emerging health threats.
