Everything Genetic<\/a> in Beam Heath Way, says the innovative device minimises user error and at least doubles test sensitivity through digitally reporting COVID test results.<\/p>\nIt is expected to be in wide circulation across the UK by the Winter.<\/p>\n
The \u2018cost effective\u2019 digital readout tech can be retro-fitted into more than 200 manufacturers\u2019 existing lateral flow tests.<\/p>\n
It also makes the process less burdensome by automating it, saving users 5-10 minutes every time they take a test.<\/p>\n
And they say it also removes the risk of individuals mistakenly interpreting results or falsely claiming positive results when self-reporting.<\/p>\n
Price believes the investment has built upon the foundations of life-sciences advancements during the pandemic.<\/p>\n
“Currently, self-reporting of COVID testing through lateral flow devices is open to a multitude of problems,” said Mr Price.<\/p>\n
“According to Government data, there are around three quarters of a million lateral flow tests being undertaken daily.<\/p>\n
“Either through malpractice or simply mistakenly interpreting the result, just one in a hundred misread tests could result in 7,500 people potentially continuing to spread the virus among the population.<\/p>\n
“If we\u2019re to ease restrictions without further spikes of the virus, we\u2019ll need more traceable and accurate reporting of where COVID is in circulation.<\/p>\n
“That\u2019s where these devices come into play.<\/p>\n
“They digitise the process and have the potential to be used in homes across the country or in ports and airports \u2013 spotting emergent cases and variants before they even land on our shores.”<\/p>\n
Everything Genetic has been working with more than 200 corporate partners on Covid testing since the start of the pandemic and has processed more than 200,000 samples over the past 10 months.<\/p>\n
The latest investment represents an overhaul of Everything Genetic\u2019s business practices, added Mr Price.<\/p>\n
“As a company, going from taking inward investment, to pushing out external investment in emergent tech such as this is a significant shift.<\/p>\n
“Up until now, the company\u2019s history was predominantly focused on genetic testing for cancers.<\/p>\n
“Fitting the business\u2019 long-term vision, we want to take that approach, combined with everything we\u2019ve learnt during the pandemic, and apply it to other areas of diagnostics and healthcare.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s a really exciting time for the business and life-sciences generally across the UK, but we\u2019re really keen to bring the device to market and revolutionise at-home testing.<\/p>\n
“But ultimately, we want to add an extra layer of defence to the country\u2019s fight against COVID and ensure the easing of restrictions is made permanent.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
