Nanogen awarded new $10.4M CDC contract
Nanogen, a US developer of in vitro diagnostic products, has been awarded a new $10.4 million, two-year contract from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to develop a multi-analyte molecular diagnostic assay for influenza.
This new contract will have Nanogen develop a fast molecular test that simultaneously detects and differentiates influenza type A, and B, seasonal flu (H1N1 and H3N2) strains, and respiratory syncytial virus.
The accord provides for a secondary, "reflex," test for avian flu strains (H5N1, H7N1, and H9N1) to be available for samples that are determined to be positive for Flu A but negative for seasonal flu. RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia among infants and children under one year of age, the firm notes.
