BioGX Receives CE-IVD Mark For Enhanced Flu Assay
"The launch of an enhanced Flu test is a testament to our team's ability to listen and address customers' needs with speed. Customers asked for a Flu test with broader coverage of specimen types without compromising sensitivity, and our team delivered," said Shazi Iqbal, Ph.D., CEO of BioGX.
As with all BioGX tests, this test is offered in BioGX's proprietary Sample-ReadyTM format in which all real-time PCR reagents are lyophilized in a single tube that snaps into a test-specific position on the BD MAXTM exK TNA extraction cartridge, which is supplied by BD. The launch of this important clinical tool represents the 23rd BioGX CE-IVD test made available for BD MAXTM in less than 2 years.
The Flu A, Flu B, RSV A/B assay - OSR for BD MAXTM is marketed and sold through BioGX B.V.'s Global Distribution Network and is not available for sale in the United States. To locate an authorized distributor or request information, visit: www.biogx.com/eu.
