Rapid Malaria Diagnostic Test Detects Placental Infection
Malaria remains one of the most important parasitic infections in humans. It is endemic throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world and is responsible for more than 200 million clinical cases and more than 400,000 deaths each year. More...19 Dec 2018
Ebola Test with Portable Reader Authorized for Emergency Use
Ebola is a rare but deadly virus that causes fever, body aches, and diarrhea, and sometimes bleeding inside and outside the body. As the virus spreads through the body, it damages the immune system and organs. Ultimately, it causes levels of blood-clotting cells to drop. This leads to severe, uncontrollable bleeding and kills up to 90% of people infected. More...26 Nov 2018
POC Immune Response Test Cleared for Europe
A single-use, disposable test identifies patients who have a clinically significant underlying infection and aids in the differentiation of viral and bacterial acute respiratory infection (ARI) through the rapid detection of both Myxovirus resistance protein A (MxA) and C-reactive protein (CRP). More...21 Nov 2018
Microsatellite Instability Assay Validated for Cancer Studies
Microsatellite instability (MSI) occurs when mismatch repair proteins (MMR) fail to fix a DNA replication error, leading to frame-shift mutations in a person's genetic code and non-functioning proteins. MSI has acted as a strong marker for genetic conditions such as Lynch syndrome that can lead to a variety of cancers. More...20 Nov 2018
Herpes Simplex Virus Assay, Sample-to-Answer Instrument Get FDA Clearance
Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2) is a widespread herpes virus, usually sexually transmitted and responsible for genital herpes. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) is a common virus life-long established in the peripheral nervous system. More...14 Nov 2018
Respiratory Panel Evaluated for Acute Respiratory Tract Infections
Upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) are illnesses caused by an acute infection that involves the upper respiratory tract including the nose, sinuses, pharynx or larynx. This commonly includes nasal obstruction, sore throat, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, otitis media, and the common cold. More...07 Nov 2018
