Clostridium difficile

Since moving to rapid molecular testing, the lab has doubled its billable test volume, largely through increasing clients for its outreach lab services.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute researchers are developing an inexpensive handheld platform that could provide C. difficile test results in minutes.

Palmetto GBA's decision that large syndromic MDx panels may not always be necessary prompted GenePOC's decision to further target smaller panels.

The firm expects to build out a menu for the reader, which will automate results reporting for colorimetric- and fluorescence-based tests.

The system will perform 200 multiplexed pathogen ID tests or 40 AST tests in one eight-hour shift on a random access, fully automated benchtop instrument.
