Biocartis to develop Rapid Ebola Virus Triage Test
The Rapid Ebola Virus Triage Test is designed to enable healthcare workers, even in challenging environments, to test blood samples and aims at providing accurate and fast diagnosis of Ebola. The test is designed to offer a unique combination of speed, sensitivity, accuracy and ease-of-use required for outbreaks where time is of the essence.
Biocartis believes its Rapid Ebola Virus Triage Test could provide a sustainable solution for rapid detection of Ebola-infected patients even after the current Ebola outbreak. After testing of synthetic virus samples in Belgium and the US, Biocartis has now registered for field-testing in West Africa to gather additional clinical evidence for the test performance.
