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.

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.

Quick, Affordable Finger-Prick Test Diagnoses Common STI in Five Minutes
Researchers have developed an affordable and fast finger-prick test for diagnosing trichomonas vaginalis, a sexually transmitted infection that is highly prevalent but often overlooked The test can deliver results in just five minutes and can be produced for under USD 20. More...28 Mar 2023

Automated Sample-to-Result PCR Test Enables Rapid Genotyping for Antiplatelet Therapy
The CYP2C19 enzyme plays a critical role in metabolizing approximately 10% of current clinically used medications. The Genomadix Cube CYP2C19 System (Cube CYP2C19 test) is an automated sample-to-result PCR test that can be used by clinicians to determine the therapeutic strategy for drugs metabolized by the CYP450 2C19 genetic pathway. More...27 Mar 2023

Handheld Molecular POCT System Enables Rapid Onsite Testing at Hospital ERs and Clinics
The deployment of a handheld molecular POCT system and nucleic acid test cards in outpatient departments, inpatient departments and emergency rooms can provide access to results 3 to 5 hours ahead of traditional PCR, allowing hospitals to better manage patient flow and length of stay.
