lateral flow point-of-need coronavirus antibody tests, which could be available in the UK within weeks.
A commercial-scale manufacturing infrastructure for both tests is now in place, and data from independent validation studies by St. George’s University of London (SGUL) and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) are undergoing U.K. government evaluation prior to launch. “Public Health England is reviewing the data,” Mologic medical director Joe Fitchett, Ph.D., told Clinical OMICs. “We are awaiting validation and approvals prior to supplying to the U.K. government.” Both tests are designed for professional use, but when asked about a home-use test, Fitchett said, “We are on track for a June launch, subject to meeting or exceeding U.K. government and MHRA performance criteria.”
Coronavirus antibody tests indicate whether someone has previously been infected with the virus. Mologic’s laboratory ELISA test detects IgG to SARS-CoV-2 in serum or plasma, and generates results within 1.5 hours. The point-of-need test uses lateral flow technology to detect IgG, IgM and IgA SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in blood, serum or plasma, within 10 minutes. (Mologic co-founder and CSO Paul Davis developed the Clearblue pregnancy test which, when launched in 1988, was world’s first commercial application of lateral flow technology.)
