LexaGene places MiQLab system in microbiology lab at University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


LexaGene Holdings Inc (CVE:LXG) (OTCQB:LXXGF) has placed an MiQLab system into a clinical microbiology laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine under the company’s early access program, it said Wednesday.

The veterinary school, or Penn Vet as it is known, provides testing for animal patients at the Ryan Veterinary Hospital and patients at practices across the US, amounting to thousands of samples being processed each year.

LexaGene’s MiQLab is the first automated PCR technology available in the veterinary sector. It is designed for in-clinic, point-of-care multiplex testing for pathogens and markers of antibiotic resistance.

MiQLab allows veterinarians to make faster, evidence-based treatment decisions for greater confidence in the therapies they are prescribing, LexaGene told shareholders.

“We are very excited to be placing our first completed commercial MiQLab system in the Penn Vet microbiology laboratory for their evaluation,” LexaGene’s CEO Dr Jack Regan said in a statement. “This is a tremendous step in delivering our technology into the veterinary market and beyond.”

Penn Vet will evaluate the instrument with a range of specimen types, according to LexaGene. Data collected from the MiQLab will be used to help define sensitivity, specificity, and antimicrobial concordance of the test in relation to clinical standards.

“I’ve been in this field for many years and I am passionate about advancing diagnostics,” said Dr Shelley Rankin, professor of microbiology, head of diagnostic services and chief of clinical microbiology at Penn Vet.

“LexaGene’s technology is the first automated PCR technology available in the veterinary field and the closest I’ve seen to a “STAT” microbiology test. I’m very excited to have this unique opportunity to evaluate the MiQLab at Penn Vet.”

Beverly, Massachusetts-based LexaGene’s early access program allows veterinarians to gain early access to the commercial application of the technology to significantly improve their current turnaround times for testing.
