Becton Dickinson, Cepheid Unveil Monkeypox PCR Test Collaborations
Some of the lab industry’s biggest players are teaming up to develop new monkeypox diagnostics in response to the current outbreak.
Some of the lab industry’s biggest players are teaming up to develop new monkeypox diagnostics in response to the current outbreak.
Two PCR assays and a PCR point-of-care solution from three different companies aim to help with diagnosing cases, tracking new variants.
Researchers are actively developing PRTs for use in whole blood products to target bacteria and viruses, including SARS-CoV-2.
In clinical training sets, the new test allowed SARS-CoV-2 antibodies to be detected using widely available glucometers.
Companies are using the lessons learned from COVID-19 to get out of the box quickly in developing test kits for monkeypox.
