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.

Specific RNA type
In molecular biology research, it is often necessary to extract specific RNA types from biological samples for downstream applications. Three important RNA types commonly isolated for experimental analysis are microRNA (miRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), and total RNA.
miRNA are small non-coding RNA molecules that play an important role in regulating gene expression. miRNA functions by binding to complementary sequences on mRNA molecules and inhibiting their translation, or promoting their degradation. Therefore, isolating miRNA is essential for studying the regulation of gene expression and investigating the roles of miRNA in various biological processes.
mRNA, in contrast, is a type of RNA molecule that carries the genetic information from DNA and acts as a template for protein synthesis. Isolating mRNA is crucial for studying gene expression and identifying differentially expressed genes in various biological conditions.
Total RNA refers to all RNA types present in a given sample. Isolating total RNA provides a comprehensive picture of the RNA content in a sample and can be useful for profiling gene expression or studying the function of non-coding RNAs.
