Mologic lands NIH funding for COVID-19 rapid antigen self-test
By LabPulse.com staff writers
Intended for use by nonhealth professionals, the nasal swab test is designed to indicate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein in approximately 20 minutes, according to the vendor. Mologic said it will now accelerate development and clinical validation of the COVID-19 self-test. It has also received guidance on how to achieve emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

FDA approves marketing of BioFire COVID-19 test
By LabPulse.com staff writers
The diagnostic test had emergency use authorization and received approval for marketing through the FDA's "de novo" pathway, a regulatory pathway for low- to moderate-risk devices of a new type. The de novo request was based on additional data showing validation beyond what is needed for emergency use authorization.

FDA releases new guidance for developers of COVID-19 products
By LabPulse.com staff writers
Among other documents, the agency has issued a policy for evaluating impact of viral mutations, which explains the effect of variants on test performance, due to a number of factors including the type of variant and test design. The guidance document provides instruction for test developers on how to design products with variants in mind and to monitor performance over time as new mutations of the virus emerge.

Molecular Designs creates PCR test for COVID-19 variant
By LabPulse.com staff writers
To detect the variant, labs must sequence the viral genome from positive SARS-CoV-2 tests but the process is expensive and slow, the firm said. The new test targets four signature mutations in the variant, and Assurance Scientific Laboratories is currently validating the test for clinical use. If all goes according to plan, Assurance will fill for authorization under its existing U.S. Food and Drug Administration emergency use authorization.
