Abstract

With PathogenDx's solution (DetectX-Rv), over the next four months, we will deliver a 25 fold increase in test capacity for the nation without increasing  lab-real-estate footprint, without adding endless lines of testing systems that depreciate instantly, upholding the level of accurate testing needed, and a solution that can â??flexâ?? to the demands of the market with the different sized SBS plates.  What we propose is quadrupling test capacity twice on the same actual test substrate ~ optimizing the same SBS plate from 12 well array slides to 96 wells ultimately to a 384 well format in less than 4 months.   Exercising this strategy will deliver 4.15M tests per month, and result in cost savings of 55% and 70% per test. As a comparison, to deploy the same capacity using qRT-PCR technology, it will cost RaDx five times as much in CapEx and three times more per test cost.
