Dermatology
R-Biopharm offers advanced dermatology diagnostics for rapid, reliable detection of dermatophytes, yeasts, and moulds from skin, hair, and nail specimens. Powered by multiplex tandem PCR (MT-PCR), these panels deliver accurate results within hours, enabling faster diagnosis and treatment. By distinguishing dermatophyte from non-dermatophyte infections, including co-infections, they enhance clinical clarity. Fully compatible with R-Biopharm platforms, they provide laboratories with efficient, streamlined tools to improve workflows and support better patient outcomes.

RIDA®Prep Tissue Digestion Kit
Give fungi nowhere to hide with RIDA®Prep Tissue Digestion Kit
Keratinous tissue samples can make sample purification challenging. RIDA®Prep Tissue Digestion Kit liberates hard-to-reach dermatophytes and other fungi from hair, skin, and nail samples to improve the yield
of targets of interest for downstream sample purification.
RIDA®Prep Tissue Digestion Buffer Workflow
RIDA®Prep® Tissue Digestion Buffer features a simple A+B reagent workflow, including minimal hands-on time to vastly improve your sample quality.
