Applying Recombinase-Aided Amplification to rapid food-safety testing

Hangzhou ZC Bio-Sci & Tech Co., Ltd. is an R&D-driven biotechnology company based in Hangzhou, China. We develop and apply Recombinase-Aided Amplification (RAA), an isothermal amplification technology, and supply RAA-based reagents, extraction kits and portable fluorescence instruments. Since September 2016 the company has focused RAA on food safety, launching the animal-species, foodborne pathogen and GMO detection series. All reagents are for research use only.

Why Choose RAA

RAA combines the specificity of a molecular method with a workflow simple enough to run outside the laboratory.

5–15 Minutes to Result

A labelled fluorescent probe is read in real time, so a result is typically available within 5–15 minutes.


37–42 °C, No Thermal Cycler

The reaction is isothermal: a heat block, water bath or the Genchek analyzer is all the equipment required.


Lyophilised and Ready to Use

Reagents ship as freeze-dried pellets — easy to transport, simple to run and free from freeze–thaw loss.
