BioGX has sought Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Xfree Covid-19 test. The test is lyophilised in a single tube for extraction-free, direct sample addition real-time RT-PCR testing. It thereby removes all sample processing steps and enables clinical laboratories to generate high-throughput sample-to-answer results using real-time PCR platforms.
LumiraDx has achieved a CE mark for its RNA STAR Complete SARS-CoV-2 test. The test was initially granted EUA by the US FDA in October 2020 and re-issued the same in March 2021. The LumiraDx RNA STAR Complete SARS-CoV-2 test enables laboratories to quickly adopt and support their testing programmes inside and outside, such as mobile lab units that offer easy access to testing wherever required.
