Heading to Entomology 2026? Stop by Booth 619 and Poster D3297!

Come see how we are advancing arthropod metabarcoding and molecular workflows, particularly for challenging insect samples. If you are struggling with low DNA yields or PCR inhibitors, traditional extraction methods can further risk DNA degradation.

We have developed a standardized, quick, and easy-to-use DNA extraction protocol designed to overcome tough lysis barriers across diverse trap types and samples (including ticks!).

Misfolded alpha-synuclein is a common thread behind Parkinson's, DLB, MSA, PAF, and REM sleep behavior disorder. SAA testing gives researchers an objective biomarker across synucleinopathies.

Achieving ~87.7% accuracy requires eliminating well-to-well agitation variability. 6–8 OPS Diagnostics 0.8 mm silica beads per well strike the ideal balance between ThT fluorescence signal intensity and plate arrangement.

Upgrade your lab's SAA workflow with validated SAA-Grade Silica Beads.

What drives the 87.7% diagnostic accuracy of the alpha-synuclein Seed Amplification Assay (alpha-syn SAA)? 🔬

It all comes down to kinetic optimization inside the microplate well:

1️⃣ Mechanical Agitation: 6–8 OPS Diagnostics 0.8 mm silica beads accelerate monomer misfolding & nucleation.
2️⃣ Fibril Formation: Misfolded seeds rapidly form beta-sheet-rich aggregates.
3️⃣ Fluorescent Tracking: Thioflavin T (ThT) binds to fibrils, signaling buildup via fluorescence.

#Parkinsons #Diagnostics

[OpsDiagnostics @OpsDiagnostics]

For over 200 years, diagnosing Parkinson’s has relied on motor symptoms that often appear long after irreversible neuron loss.
Alpha-synuclein seed amplification assays (alpha-syn SAA) change the trajectory by detecting misfolded protein aggregates in CSF before motor decline begins.
Beyond PD, alpha-syn SAA opens critical diagnostic windows across synucleinopathies like DLB, MSA, PAF, and RBD.
