Mylab, Hemex Health enter technology partnership for point of care diagnostics
Pune: Mylab Discovery Solutions has recently announced that the company has joined forces with the US-based Hemex Health to develop next-generation diagnostic solutions for the Point-of-Care (POC) testing of coronavirus and other diseases.
Under the technology partnership, Mylab will develop test assays and Hemex will provide its Gazelle POC testing platform and expertise.
After the second wave, the importance of decentralized testing has become evident due to limited capacity of traditional laboratories. The portable diagnostic device and tests assays will help in testing at any location, in a wide range of environmental conditions, and without the need to transport the sample, enabling quick result for the patients.
Together, the companies will Fluorescence Immunoassay (FIA) and Electrophoresis-based diagnostic solutions. These tests are more sensitive than the normal rapid antigen tests and have fewer false negatives. The diagnostic solution will be jointly introduced in the international markets including the United States, Europe and Asia. This collaboration will bring together deep knowledge in molecular diagnostic technology, product ideation, and new technology development and deployment to augment testing capabilities for Covid-19 around the world.
