IN BRIEF: Avacta Posts Positive Results For Covid-19 Detection Test

24th Jun 2020 13:55

Avacta Group PLC - Wetherby-based biotherapeutics firm - Says results for its first Affimer-based Covid-19 test strips show the strips detect SARS-COV-2 spike protein in samples at concentrations within the clinical range found in saliva of patients with Covid-19. Work is now ongoing to refine the test strip design, optimise its performance and get the best detection limit possible for the final product. Following optimisation of the test, the design will then be transferred to manufacturing partners in the UK.
