TRIMERO Diagnostics offers IVD CE marked assays for testing IgD Immunoglobulins (IgD) on Beckman Coulter’s IMMAGE® Immunochemical Systems and Siemens’ BN™ nephelometric systems.
In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Erba Mannheim has launched the ErbaMDx SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Kit for detection of SARS-CoV-2.
To overcome challenges in older COVID-19 molecular tests, Erba’s Cambridge(UK)-based development team has engineered a new assay to improve detection and ease of use with a single tube multiplex mastermix, compatible with room-temperature storage and transportation.
The new assay offers 200 copies/ml LoD, using universally trusted gene targets highly specific for SARS-CoV-2 and updated primer sequences to maximise long term performance. Sample types include both nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs as well as saliva.
Nikhil Vazirani, MD of Erba, said: “We are proud and excited to add a highly sensitive RT-PCR test to our growing range of immunoassay and molecular solutions. The new ErbaMDx SARS-CoV-2 test perfectly complements our successful COVID-19 IgG and IgM ELISA assays to offer customers a state-of-the-art molecular test in addition to antibody testing which will offer clinicians valuable insight into the immune response to infection or vaccination.”
The CE-marked kit will be available through Erba’s global distribution network.
Erba Mannheim, established in over 100 countries, focusses on delivering innovative, affordable and sustainable diagnostic solutions to labs everywhere. The Erba group uses a combination of cutting-edge R&D in 4 continents with efficient low-cost manufacturing to make diagnostic technologies accessible in all resource settings.
Siemens Healthineers announced 7 January that the U.S. FDA has issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for their laboratory-based IL-6 assay to measure the presence of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in human serum or plasma. IL-6 is an indicator of potential severe inflammatory response in patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Emergency use of this test is limited […]
ZTA Biotech, a Budapest-based biotech start-up, announced 6 January the breakthrough development of a COVID-19 antibody (IgG) test using the ELISA protocol – and is offering the intellectual property rights to licensees or a sole-rights purchaser.
DiaSys has introduced cartridge-based rapid tests for the detection of COVID-19 antigens and IgM and IgG antibodies, Influenza A&B as well as SGTi-flex COVID-19 & Flu A/B Ag DUO. These rapid tests are easy and reliable to use and provide accurate results within a short time. Besides providing quick access to test results, rapid tests […]
Hologic’s new Genius Digital Diagnostics System is now CE marked in Europe. Genius Digital Diagnostics is the first digital cytology platform to combine a new artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm with advanced digital imaging to help cytotechnologists and pathologists identify precancerous lesions and cancer cells in women.
NUVIO has released the first completely reusable 3D cell culture microplate on the market. Scientific research currently consumes highvolumes of single-use plastics – from serological pipettes and pipette tips to vials and culture microplates – these are just a few of the many plastic items thrown in the garbage in labs every day. eNUVIO’s completely […]
Three types of assays are used to monitor COVID-19 infection: detection of the virus by a molecular test (PCR), by an antigen test, and serological assays that detect antibodies produced upon infection.
Beckman Coulter has launched its Access SARS-CoV-2 Immunoglobulin M (IgM) assay in countries accepting the CE Mark. The new IgM antibody test demonstrated 99.9% specificity with 1,400 negative samples and 100% sensitivity at >18 days post symptom onset and post positive PCR. Beckman Coulter’s IgM assay is part of a full suite of testing solutions […]
Mologic’s professional-use COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test has been certified with a CE mark. The test provides health professionals an accurate detection of the nucleoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in respiratory swabs, within 10 minutes. Development and validation were supported by the Wellcome Trust and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Joint Initiative on Research […]
