Canvax Biotech


Canvax is a leading manufacturer and supplier of the most innovative solutions, kits and R&D Reagents inside Molecular Biology fields. Since its foundation in 2001, Canvax offers reliable, cost-effective and easy-to-use innovative tools for research. Based in Córdoba (Spain), since its beginning it has focused on R&D of multiplex high throughput platforms (HTS) for Drug discovery and Diagnostic applied biosensors. Over a decade later, Canvax is a worldwide leading expert in GPCR expression in heterologous cells, with important patents and exclusive know-how. Canvax prides itself to be the first company to get an unprecedented milestone that could revolutionize the Diagnostics sector: Canvax established stable high-level expression of odour GPCRs into heterologous cell lines in 2014. This key milestone, that could be applied in diagnostic, perfume and cosmetic industry, are being employed to obtain a molecular nose, a sensitive and non-invasive diagnostic molecular device for early detection of cancer, as the nose of trained dogs do. Thanks to this project, Canvax was awarded, in 2013, with the largest Public & Private Contract for Pre competitive Technology Development in Spanish history.

Extraction and purification of genomic DNA - Blood

Genomic DNA or gDNA is chromosomal DNA, in contrast to extra-chromosomal DNA such as plasmid DNA. Genomic DNA contains all the biological information to be passed on to the next generation. Most organisms have the same genomic DNA in all their cells, however only certain genes are active in each cell. Genomic DNA contains both so-called coding and non-coding regions, known as introns and exons. Introns are fragments of genes that do not have coding sequences. In general, introns are spliced or "deleted" from the RNA during the transcription process before protein synthesis. This is only possible in eukaryotes, prokaryotes are not able to splice introns. Exons are a necessary part of the coding system and are retained after splicing of introns.

Once isolated, gDNA can be used to create genomic libraries for DNA sequencing, fingerprinting, differentiation and other clinical and research applications.
