LONDON (Alliance News) - EKF Diagnostics Holdings said Tuesday it is progressing well with the development of a Point of Care platform for Acute Kidney Injury, with testing on clinical samples set to commence in early 2014.

Testing is the next phase in the development which has been undertaken with Carclo Diagnostic Solutions. The platform is being developed as an alternative to standard lateral flow testing as a device to detect Acute Kidney Injury.

The firm said that testing and an assay based on Carclo's micropoc-pro platform should be complete by mid-2014.
