The Biocard Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM and Chlamydia pneumoniae IgM tests are lateral flow cassette tests for rapid detection of pneumoniae IgM antibodies in fingertip wholeblood samples, as well as in serum and plasma samples. The tests are CE-marked, easy and quick to perform: the results are available in 5–10 minutes. Most diagnosis of C. pneumoniae is done serologically and modified microimmuno-fluorescence methods are commonly used. Other test procedures, such as enzyme immunoassays and PCR methods, are also used, but all of these methods require trained personnel and a skilled interpreter, whereas a positive Biocard test result is a simple and rapid aid for the diagnosis of acute C. pneumoniae and M. pneumoniae infection. A typical test pack contains: 20 aluminium pouches containing a test cassette, 20 automatic lancets for obtaining a blood sample, 1 plastic vessel containing 20 pieces of 10 μl glass capillary, 20 tubes containing 0.5 ml of sample dilution buff er, 20 alcohol swabs, and an instruction leaflet.

Created to simultaneously screen for several of the most common autoantibodies found in autoimmune connective tissue disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the Maverick ENA 4 and ENA 6 assay kits are the first available for the Maverick Detection System. Their simplified one-step workflow delivers accurate results in 15 minutes and can be run using very small volume samples from a variety of matrices, including serum and plasma. The ENA 4 assay tests for the presence of four of the most commonly measured extractable nuclear antigens (ENA), including SS-A, SS-B, Sm and RNP, while the ENA 6 assay includes two additional commonly measured antigens–Scl-70 and Jo-1, so covering six multiplexed tests per sample. The assay results are highly reproducible, show excellent correlation to ELISA and are up to ten times more sensitive. The assays are available to participants in the company’s Early Access programme, which enables scientists to gain pre-launch access to multiplexed autoantibody assays and the Maverick Detection System. This uses a proprietary chip based on silicon photonics to simultaneously analyse multiple proteins from a single small sample. The multiplexing technology simultaneously screens for the detection of autoantibodies using a one-step process that eliminates the washes, incubations, reagents and processing steps typically associated with other technologies. Semi-quantitative results are reported for each analyte, eliminating the need for reflex testing. The assays are simple to use and rapid – results are available in only 15 minutes, including just two minutes of hands-on time. A number of higher plexed assays for autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease and others, are also in development.
