World’s First Rapid Saliva-Based Pregnancy Test Eliminates Need for Blood and Urine Samples
Salistick from Salignostics (Jerusalem, Israel) is the first rapid saliva-based pregnancy test for early and highly accurate pregnancy detection that does not require urine. The kit is based on the company’s revolutionary technology which detects the pregnancy hormone β-hCG in saliva from the first day of the missed period. More...09 Dec 2022
Cepheid's Multi-Target Test Design Enables Detection of Influenza Variants
Cepheid’s (Sunnyvale, CA, USA) respiratory test design enables detection of the currently circulating mutant strains of influenza, and with similar symptoms across various illnesses such as the flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease, and COVID-19, when accurate and fast diagnosis is critical to patient care.

Portable UTI Molecular Diagnostic Platform Provides Accurate Test Results in 40 Minutes
The absence of fast diagnostic testing for Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) means clinicians make treatment decisions based on vague clinical symptoms or inaccurate urine dipstick tests. Now, a rapid and affordable point-of-care molecular diagnostics platform developed specifically to detect bacterial and viral infections aims to change that. More...09 Dec 2022
New Blood Test Detects ‘Toxic’ Protein Years Before Alzheimer’s Symptoms Emerge
Researchers have developed a laboratory test that can measure the levels of amyloid beta oligomers in blood samples. The test could detect signs of Alzheimer's disease before cognitive impairment happens. More...07 Dec 2022
Biomarkers Predict Lyme Disease Post-Treatment Prognosis
Testing and diagnosis of the earliest stages of Lyme Disease (LD) have proven to be difficult or unreliable. The universally accepted diagnostic test for LD is a positive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) followed by a positive western blot for immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG. More...06 Dec 2022
Low Cost, Highly Sensitive Blood Test for Cancer Makes Regular Monitoring Affordable
Scientists have discovered a novel low-cost method of testing for cancers. Called the Heatrich-BS assay, the new test sequences clinical samples that have been heated in order to isolate cancer-specific signatures found in a patient’s blood. More...06 Dec 2022
