LumiraDx to Present on Impact of Its Next-Generation Microfluidic Technology at AACC 2022

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 20 Jul 2022

LumiraDx (London, UK) will be hosting an industry workshop at the 73rd AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo that will include data-backed insights on the impact of the company’s advanced microfluidic technology over lateral flow point-of-care antigen tests, and the role of these rapid immunoassays in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking during the session will be lead author on a number of research papers reviewing the SARS-CoV-2 Ag test, Paul Drain, MD, MPH, FIDSA, Associate Professor in the Departments of Global Health, Medicine (Infectious Diseases), and Epidemiology at the University of Washington, along with Brian DuChateau, Ph.D., D (ABMLI), VP of Clinical and Scientific Affairs, LumiraDx. Key findings in the study revealed that the LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ag test showed a 97.6% positive agreement to RT PCR in patients up to 12 days following symptom onset, and 100% PPA up to Ct 33.

In addition to hosting the workshop, LumiraDx will be exhibiting in the show’s main exhibition hall at booth #4821, and will be presenting its poster abstract ‘Correlation of the Rapid, Point-of-Care LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Test to Other SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Tests and to Viral Neutralization’ (poster B-195) and be featured in a poster abstract by John’s Hopkins Hospital ‘Implementation of POCT COVID-19 Testing Using a LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Testing Platform in Patient and Employee Testing Environments’ (poster A-142.)

“Studies have shown that point of care antigen tests with sufficient sensitivity and specificity can facilitate diagnosis, treatment, and mitigate reliance on slower, conventional laboratory-based testing and infrastructure,” said Dr. DuChateau. “However, the COVID-19 pandemic not only demonstrated the need for this type of testing, but also showed how quick result turn-around-time can mitigate rates of infection. LumiraDx’s actively controlled microfluidic testing technology brings lab-comparable performance to the point-of-need, supporting several unique use-cases during the pandemic and beyond.”
