9.10.2019 08:02:12 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Mobidiag Ltd., a revenue generating, molecular diagnostics company with complementary platforms that address antimicrobial resistance and other areas of unmet diagnostic need, today announces the CE-IVD marking of the Novodiag® Stool Parasites test, a comprehensive and cost-effective molecular diagnostic test for the detection of intestinal parasites directly from stool samples.
Tuomas Tenkanen, CEO of Mobidiag, said, “Parasitic diseases contribute significantly to the burden of infectious diseases worldwide and current diagnostic methods such as microscopy are labor-intensive and require a high level of skill. Our Novodiag® Stool Parasites test is the only fully automated, rapid, cost-effective and easy to use diagnostic solution that can identify a comprehensive range of parasitic targets, for use in laboratories and hospitals.”
“Novodiag® Stool Parasites is the fourth test on our Novodiag® platform and, together with our Novodiag® C. difficile , Novodiag® Bacterial GE+ and Novodiag® CarbaR+ tests, further strengthens our offering in the detection of gastrointestinal infections. With our complementary Amplidiag® and Novodiag® solutions, we continue to offer a range of highly versatile combined solutions enabling the broad application of molecular diagnostics around the world.”
Novodiag® Stool Parasites combines real-time PCR and microarray technologies to allow cost-effective, rapid and comprehensive detection of >95% of intestinal parasites. This syndromic test is designed to run on-demand using the automated Novodiag® system and is able to detect the presence of nucleic acid markers corresponding to the identification of the most common protozoan, helminths, and microsporidia from stool samples. The test provides complete results in 90 minutes with less than five minutes hands-on time by an operator.
While most infections and death from parasitic diseases affect people in developing countries, increasing incidence in developed nations combined with a shortage of microscopy trained hospital staff are driving demand for this test.
The Novodiag® Stool Parasites test is now available directly through Mobidiag and local distributors. For more information, visit https://mobidiag.com/products/novodiag/#stoolparasites
