POC Test Detects Genetic Blood Disorders with High Accuracy
Sickle cell disease (SCD) and beta thalassemia are genetic blood disorders that affect over 7% of the global population. In the US, SCD is estimated to affect 100,000 people, with up to 8% of African-Americans being carriers, and can reduce life expectancy by up to 20 years. Now, an affordable sickle cell and beta thalassemia test that is currently used in 27 countries seeks to replicate its international success and expand into the U.S. More...31 Mar 2023

Non-Invasive Fecal DNA Test Accurately Detects Colorectal Cancer and Precancerous Lesions
BGI Genomics has developed a non-invasive fecal DNA test, known as COLOTECTTM 1.0, to detect colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions. The test employs multiplex methylation-specific PCR (MSP) technology to track abnormal DNA-methylation biomarkers in stool samples. More...30 Mar 2023

Simple Blood Test Could Help Doctors Diagnose Heart Disease in Physician's Office
In the largest analysis of blood RNA from patients with angiographically confirmed coronary artery disease (CAD), researchers have demonstrated how RNA biomarkers could be utilized to confirm heart disease. More...30 Mar 2023

Serum Protein Test Can Predict Outcomes for Liver Failure Patients
A new study has revealed that levels of a serum protein called carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1), which is short-lived but abundant, can accurately predict outcomes for patients with acute liver failure - whether they will recover or require a transplant. More...29 Mar 2023

Fully Automated Blood-Based Assays Measure Biomarker for Neurodegenerative Diseases within 35 Minutes
Fujirebio has launched the fully automated Lumipulse G NfL CSF and Lumipulse G NfL Blood CLEIA (chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay) assays for the LUMIPULSE G immunoassay systems that enable the quantitative measurement of neurofilament light (NfL) in human Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma/serum, respectively, in only 35 minutes. More...29 Mar 2023

POC Fingerprick Test Identifies Both HIV-1/2 and Syphilis Antibodies from One Sample within 60 Seconds
A new test is designed to detect antibodies for both HIV-1/2 and syphilis using a single sample obtained through a simple fingerprick method. The test delivers accurate results in under a minute, while being mobile and easy to use. More...29 Mar 2023

Transformative NGS Innovation Expands Access to Genomic Testing for Tuberculosis Patients
The WHO has identified tuberculosis (TB) as the leading global bacterial infectious killer, causing more than 1.5 million deaths each year. Despite the possibility of a cure with appropriate treatment, multidrug-resistant TB (MDR TB) has become a significant global public health emergency. Now, the combined use of a targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) based test and novel NGS platforms will allow much more rapid determination of extensive drug resistance profiles and TB strain types. More...28 Mar 2023
