Aptamer Group and Mologic are working towards CE marking of Aptamer Group’s AptaDx SARS-CoV-2 lateral flow rapid antigen test for professional use, to detect the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antigen in anterior nasal swabs. Initial laboratory tests have demonstrated excellent sensitivity, being able to detect as little as 1000 virus particles per mL, and further clinical validation to support the CE marking will be performed at the Integrated COVID Hub North East in Newcastle, UK.
As it’s based on aptamers (synthetic nucleic acid-based affinity reagents) rather than standard protein-based affinity reagents, the test would offer significant cost advantages, allowing large scale development and delivery of tests globally, including to low- and middle-income countries.
