PathFlow®: Future innovation of COVID-19 Lateral Flow Testing

Advancing technology and a unique wealth of knowledge are the driving forces behind innovative development in our PathFlow® portfolio of diagnostic tests for infectious diseases.

This includes innovative product development in our PathFlow® portfolio – part of our Microgen Bioproducts division – where the new SARS-CoV-2 IgG rapid test is a natural addition to a fast-growing range of assays for the rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases.

PathFlow® COVID-19 testing solutions:

As the demands for COVID-19 testing continues to evolve, Novacyt are continuing to innovate and intend to develop an additional, next generation PathFlow® LFT, due to be launched in Q2 2021. This will be a pivotal step forward, not only in our understanding of the virus but also in our ability to combat it.

Our latest addition to the range – the PathFlow® SARS-Cov-2 IgG – is an easy-to-use, rapid, lateral flow test for the detection of COVID-19 antibodies.

We are also building our partnerships with academia, to help further clinical studies as we evolve the new product development programme.
