Application areas
When ClaremontBio began developing its technology the technologies were developed for the rapid detection of bio-threats such as anthrax for the Department of Homeland Security. The company has since developed a line of products that can be used in performing diagnostic protocols. Examples include rapid cell lysis, nucleic acid purification, and His-tagged protein purification. ClaremontBio’s products are also currently used for sample preparation in the areas of life-science research, bio-threat detection, gene-sequencing, and in many other applications
