DNA results anytime, anywhere
It takes two things to generate a DNA result: (1) DNA kits, chemicals, and consumables, and (2) a machine to perform the reaction.
The first part has been solved. There are lots of DNA kits from lots of suppliers. The second part has been the problem. Existing DNA analyzers are designed to test hundreds of samples at a time.
What if you want to test a few samples and get the results right away?
This was the challenge that led us to develop Spartan DX™, the world’s first DNA analyzer that is fast, affordable, and easy to use.
The reason is that you want DNA results now, not later. And you want it at a price that doesn’t bankrupt your budget.
In the same way that mainframe computers gave rise to personal computers, mainframe-style batched DNA machines are giving rise to DNA analyzers.
DNA results. Anytime. Anywhere. It’s your choice with Spartan DX.

Earth Class Mail is changing how postal mail is delivered, for the betterment of individuals, businesses, national post offices, and the planet. Instead of making physical postal deliveries that are so dependent on fuel for planes and trucks, we deliver postal mail online, where people can manage it instantly, anywhere in the world.
No matter where our customers are, they simply log in to their secure Earth Class Mail account to view scanned images of their mail envelopes. They then decide which items to have opened and securely scanned so they can read the contents online, and which items should be recycled, shredded, archived, or forward-shipped to them wherever they’re located – all with a few clicks of a mouse.
For businesses, Earth Class Mail not only delivers employee mail regardless of where each employee happens to be, but we also handle standardized process mail such as claim forms, invoices, legal documents, mortgages, applications, tax documents and checks more efficiently and cost-effectively than ordinary document management and storage solutions.
Recycling mail is one of the primary ways Earth Class Mail already makes a difference for the planet, and that’s just the beginning: To truly benefit the environment, Earth Class Mail has developed the first online postal-mail delivery system scalable to an entire country’s postal mail.
Did you know that…
Post offices are generally among the largest consumers of energy in their respective countries.
Various studies report that the average person recycles perhaps 20% of his or her mail, while Earth Class Mail customers recycle more than 90% of their mail.
For every ton of paper we recycle, we reduce the marginal air pollution generated by new paper production by 74%, and water pollution by 35%.
The Earth Class Mail system is secure, convenient, and cost-effective. Our solution is currently being used by thousands of people in over 170 countries. Join us!
