Applied BioCode to Present Poster at AMP on 18-Plex GI Pathogen Panel with a High Throughput System

Applied BioCode announced today that its abstract for a poster on “18-Plex Gastrointestinal Pathogen Detection with a User Friendly, High Throughput System” has been accepted for presentation at the Association for Molecular Pathology meeting, November 5-7 in Austin, TX.

The poster will cover the development progress of Applied BioCode’s new high throughput, multiplex automated MDx system. The new BioCode platform utilizes Applied BioCode’s proprietary Barcoded Magnetic Beads (BMB) and fully automates the process of amplification, target capture and detection for molecular diagnostic assays.

The poster will also provide the latest analytical and performance data for the 18-plex Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel that is currently in development. The BioCode 18-plex GI Pathogen Panel includes targets for the bacteria (Campylobacter, Clostridium difficile toxin A&B, Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli O157, Enterotoxigenic E. coli, Enteropathogenic E. coli, Shiga toxin producing E. coli, Enteroaggregative E. coli, Vibrio spp., Vibro parahaemolyticus, Vibro Vulnificus, Vibro Cholerae, Yersinia Enterocolitica), viruses (norovirus group I/II, adenovirus 40/41, rotavirus A), and parasites (Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba histolytica).

Preliminary data generated for the Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel with the automated system will be presented by Applied BioCode’s scientific personnel.
