Recently, the outbreak of the new coronavirus infection in China has become one of the world’s most pressing healthcare issues. Due to the absence of fast, accurate, and timely methods of disease detection, millions of families are quarantined at home. Airports and high-speed train stations are closed. Hospitals are full of possible coronavirus patients waiting for diagnosis. Fortunately, these situations have the potential to be completely ameliorated with our novel technologies. Combining the industry-standard Taqman assay with innovative engineering concepts, our XDive™ Superfast Real-Time PCR system can perform accurate pathogen detection, including the coronavirus, in as short as 5 minutes for 40 PCR cycles with no loss of sensitivity and specificity.

What is Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)? Antimicrobial resistance is the ability of microbes to resist the effects of drugs – that is, the germs are not killed, and their growth is not stopped. Although some people are at greater risk than others, no one can completely avoid the risk of antibiotic-resistant infections. Infections with resistant organisms are difficult to treat, requiring costly and sometimes toxic alternatives.
