Company Profile for SIRS-Lab GmbH.SIRS-Lab GmbH is a biotechnology company focused on the identification of novel biomarkers and the development of in-vitro diagnostics for the early detection of bacterial causes of infection and the inflammatory/immunological host response in intensive care medicine as well as sepsis Sepsis Definition Sepsis refers to a bacterial infection in the bloodstream or body tissues. This is a very broad term covering the presence of many types of microscopic disease-causing organisms. . Three programs for the development of clinical in vitro diagnostics In vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests are medical tests conducted in a test tube, or more generally in a controlled environment outside a living organism. In vitro means in glass in Latin. are presently in progress. Using state-of-the-art methods of functional genomic and proteomic research, SIRS-Lab has successfully identified several biomarker biomarker /bio·mark·er/ (bi´o-mahr?ker) 1. a biological molecule used as a marker for a substance or process of interest. 2. tumor marker. bi·o·mark·er n. 1. candidates. SIRS-Lab started operations in April 2001, launched its first product line in May 2002 and has currently 30 employees. SIRS-Lab's core expertise includes expert knowledge in critical care medicine, assay design and assay development especially in the field of gene expression analysis, bio-banking, study design and CE-compliant analysis of clinical samples. As experts in the field of sepsis and rapid pathogen Pathogen Any agent capable of causing disease. The term pathogen is usually restricted to living agents, which include viruses, rickettsia, bacteria, fungi, yeasts, protozoa, helminths, and certain insect larval stages. detection, we provide a broad variety of opportunities to corporate partner. The companyos present flagship product A primary product of a company, which is typically why the company was founded and/or what made it well known. For example, MS-DOS, Windows and the Microsoft Office suite have been flagship products of Microsoft. CorelDRAW is a flagship product of Corel Corporation. is Looxster, an innovative kit system for sample preparation prior to nucleic acid nucleic acid, any of a group of organic substances found in the chromosomes of living cells and viruses that play a central role in the storage and replication of hereditary information and in the expression of this information through protein synthesis. based detection methods of bacterial pathogens. The underlying Pureprove -Technology allows specific concentration of bacterial DNA DNA: see nucleic acid. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid One of two types of nucleic acid (the other is RNA); a complex organic compound found in all living cells and many viruses. It is the chemical substance of genes. from complex samples optimizing the ratio of pathogen DNA compared to human DNA. Thus, the sensitivity of the subsequent pathogen amplification amplification /am·pli·fi·ca·tion/ (33000) (am?pli-fi-ka´shun) the process of making larger, such as the increase of an auditory stimulus, as a means of improving its perception. step is significantly enhanced. < < Company: SIRS-Lab GmbH < < < < Headquarters Address: Winzerlaer Strasse 2 < < Jena 07745 < < Germany < < < < Main Telephone: +49 (0) 3641 - 508 430 < < < < Website: www.sirs-lab.com < < < < Type of Organization: Private < < < < Industry: Biotechnology < < < < Key Executives: CEO: PD Dr. Stefan Russwurm < < < < Communications < < Contact: Ulrike Knappe < < Phone: +49 (0) 3641 - 508 430 < < Email: knappe@sirs-lab.com < < < < Marketing < < Contact: Eva Dietzel < < Phone: +49 (0) 3641 - 508 430 < < Email: dietzel@sirs-lab.de |
