Co-Diagnostics has started clinical evaluations for its Co-Dx PCR Home platform, developed to detect infectious diseases, and an initial Covid-19 test.

The company developed the real-time PCR platform to detect infectious diseases in point-of-care as well as at-home settings.

The evaluations will include trials and analytical studies that could support submissions to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory authorities.

Multiplex panels are expected to follow after the platform receives initial regulatory authorisation.

The company will not provide a projected completion timeline, as the assessments depend on the identification and enrolment of a certain number of symptomatic as well as asymptomatic Covid-19-positive and -negative patients at testing centres.

Co-Diagnostics CEO Dwight Egan said: “It is the culmination of a development process that spans over two years of research and development and has harnessed the expert skills of well over a hundred dedicated scientists, engineers and support staff.
