Novodiag^® assay rapidly detects coronavirus and influenzas;
provides safety for users with a closed system;
easy to use with no need for highly trained personnel in high risk and hard to reach areas

Mobidiag Ltd. today announces that it has initiated development of a Novodiag® molecular diagnostic test for the rapid and simultaneous detection of the novel coronavirus (strain 2019-nCoV) and influenza viruses.

The assay is being developed in partnership with Autobio Diagnostics (Autobio), the market leading Chinese clinical diagnostics company, and Automobi Molecular Diagnostics (Automobi), the joint venture launched by Mobidiag and Autobio in May 2019.

The new Novodiag® test will operate using a rapid ‘sample-in, result-out’ system, allowing the rapid detection of both novel coronavirus and influenzas in around 30 minutes. In addition, the fully automated system protects laboratory staff and healthcare providers from possible contamination. The user-friendly nature of the system will mean that the Novodiag® platform can be delivered to and will be targeted for use in high risk and hard to reach areas without the need for highly trained personnel.

Tuomas Tenkanen, CEO of Mobidiag, said, “It is vital that molecular diagnostics solutions be utilized to fight back against novel coronavirus which has emerged as a significant threat to health across the world. Our new Novodiag® assay will uniquely offer rapid and fully automated molecular profiling to simultaneously detect novel coronavirus and common influenza strains and guide clinicians more quickly towards moving patients to efficient isolation measures and make better-informed treatment decisions, in situations where time is critical.”

“Our partner Autobio’s understanding of the developing situation in China, combined with our in-house expertise and flexibility of the Novodiag® platform, means we are well positioned to develop an effective diagnostic solution for such a global health emergency. Regulators around the world have recognized the need to expedite responses to the diagnosis and treatment of novel coronavirus and we intend to bring our test to market as rapidly as possible.”

Fu Guangyu, Director of Autobio and General Manager of Automobi, said, “To control the spread of 2019-nCov as soon as possible, a rapid, safe, and accurate etiological diagnosis technique is of paramount need. We are delighted that Mobidiag will use its expertise and know-how to develop an assay that can be used on the Novodiag® platform at this critical time. Autobio and Automobi will work closely with Mobidiag by sharing relevant technology, experience, resources and information in order to ensure we make a meaningful impact in the fight against the spread of 2019-nCov.”

The development of this new assay highlights the broad flexibility and applicability of the Novodiag® platform which combines real-time PCR and microarray technologies to allow for single to high-plex (100+) diagnostics, enabling future applications in areas such as infectious diseases, sepsis and oncology. It conducts comprehensive screening of multiple or single pathogens within approximately one hour, helping to deliver early treatments to patients and avoid the spread of infection.

ESPOO, Finland, October 09, 2019 – Mobidiag Ltd., a revenue generating, molecular diagnostics company with complementary platforms that address antimicrobial resistance and other areas of unmet diagnostic need, today announces the CE-IVD marking of the Novodiag® Stool Parasites test, a comprehensive and cost-effective molecular diagnostic test for the detection of intestinal parasites directly from stool samples.

Tuomas Tenkanen, CEO of Mobidiag, said, “Parasitic diseases contribute significantly to the burden of infectious diseases worldwide and current diagnostic methods such as microscopy are labor-intensive and require a high level of skill. Our Novodiag® Stool Parasites test is the only fully automated, rapid, cost-effective and easy to use diagnostic solution that can identify a comprehensive range of parasitic targets, for use in laboratories and hospitals.”

“Novodiag® Stool Parasites is the fourth test on our Novodiag® platform and, together with our Novodiag® C. difficile, Novodiag® Bacterial GE+ and Novodiag® CarbaR+ tests, further strengthens our offering in the detection of gastrointestinal infections. With our complementary Amplidiag® and Novodiag® solutions, we continue to offer a range of highly versatile combined solutions enabling the broad application of molecular diagnostics around the world.”

Novodiag® Stool Parasites combines real-time PCR and microarray technologies to allow cost-effective, rapid and comprehensive detection of >95% of intestinal parasites. This syndromic test is designed to run on-demand using the automated Novodiag® system and is able to detect the presence of nucleic acid markers corresponding to the identification of the most common protozoan, helminths, and microsporidia from stool samples. The test provides complete results in 90 minutes with less than five minutes hands-on time by an operator.
While most infections and death from parasitic diseases affect people in developing countries, increasing incidence in developed nations combined with a shortage of microscopy trained hospital staff are driving demand for this test.

The Novodiag® Stool Parasites test is now available directly through Mobidiag and local distributors. For more information, visit product page.
