Enabling 5-minute PCR: Innovations in point-of-care testing

Wednesday, 15 November | 4:00 PM - 4:50 PM | Room 251BC

LEX Diagnostics have built upon core reagent systems provided by LGC Biosearch Technologies to develop an inhibitor tolerant reagent system. LEX believes point-of-care testing should provide high sensitivity tests that are easy to use and deliver clinically actionable results within a single visit to a health care provider. They have developed a rapid thermal cycling technology allowing gold standard sensitivity and specificity achievable through hydrolysis probe RT-PCR in a swab to result workflow. Learn how this technology eliminates the need for complex sample preparation and can efficiently amplify at groundbreaking speeds towards the realization of 5-minute PCR diagnostics.

Hear about:

1. Decentralized testing for faster prognosis and treatment

2. Developing reagent systems for extraction-free RT-PCR

3. Assay design for rapid amplification by thermal cycling

4. Developing a platform technology for a future assay menu
