NIH invests almost $249M in 7 COVID-19 test technologies
By
LabPulse.com staff writers
In a July 31 press briefing, the NIH discussed seven companies that have received grants for COVID-19 tests through grants from its NIH's Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) initiative, which it says evaluates technology in a similar way as the reality business investment TV show Shark Tank. A range of tests are in development and the award winners include lab-based as well as point-of-care (POC) products. In a statement, the NIH said that the crop of new tests could increase the number of available tests that can be conducted each day by millions, perhaps as early as September. Funding derives from a $1.5 billion appropriation from Congress in April to support new test technologies during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sequencing seeks to stay ahead of new COVID-19 surges
By
Alice Kan
Sequencing has been an essential tool for the development of strategies and therapeutics in the fight against COVID-19, and sequencing-based rapid and high-throughput diagnostics for COVID-19 are in development. Sequencing technology suppliers are collaborating with researchers to develop sequencing-based diagnostic tools. For example, several groups are using Illumina's next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to develop ultrahigh-throughput COVID-19 diagnostic testing.

Could mPOC come to the rescue in COVID-19 outbreak?
By
Bruce Carlson
What IVD technology to use? Lab-based molecular IVD tests are in development, but they can't always be where the need is. Immunoassays take long periods to develop and, generally speaking, may not be sensitive enough for a "must-know" identification task of disease.

Illumina unveils megadeal with Roche, new sequencers
By
Emily Hayes
The companies said the partnership, which is nonexclusive, will make the most of Illumina's decentralized installed base and Roche's assay development expertise to make next-generation sequencing technology more accessible to cancer patients. Through the deal, Roche gets the rights for the development and distribution of IVD tests on the Illumina NextSeq 550Dx system and future systems. Illumina will manage sales of the systems themselves and consumables.
