Key collaboration enables rapid respiratory testing at the point of care

Heather Danks, Chief Technology Officer at LEX Diagnostics, highlights a key partnership with ZeptoMetrix while developing an ultra-fast thermocycling PCR device for rapid Influenza & SARS-CoV-2 testing. Designed for speed, affordability, and usability, the device enables efficient point-of-care diagnostics. ZeptoMetrix has provided vital support in creating custom controls, working closely with LEX Diagnostics to tailor products to the LEX system. Alongside launching their first product, LEX Diagnostics aims to expand their test menu, setting new standards in patient care.

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
