Development of an 8 hour RAPID metagenomic test for diagnosing human pathogens
FY 2020-21 · 2021-02-02
Summary
This project will support the R&D required to reduce the time from sample to result of the firm’s next generation sequencing-based test for diagnosing human pathogens from the current 12 hours to 8 hours. This will be done through the optimization of a variety of steps including significant reduction in the time required for the liquid phase hybridization of the firm’s proprietary probes with their target sequences.

Description (French)
Ce projet permettra de soutenir la R-D nécessaire pour réduire le temps entre l'échantillon et le résultat du test de nouvelle génération de l'entreprise, basé sur le séquençage, pour le diagnostic des pathogènes humains, soit de 12 heures actuellement à 8 heures. Cela se fera par l'optimisation d'une variété d'étapes, y compris une réduction substantielle du temps requis pour l'hybridation en phase liquide des sondes brevetées de l'entreprise avec leurs séquences cibles.
