AUSTIN, Texas, March 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As the rapidly changing situation associated with the Wuhan coronavirus, now known as SARS-CoV-2, continues to evolve both in the United States and around the world, Luminex Corporation (NASDAQ:LMNX) announced today updates on the company's plans, progress, and capabilities in assisting laboratories to detect and diagnose cases of this novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
"We have been working on multiple solutions to augment our NxTAG and ARIES offerings in order to facilitate and automate the detection of SARS-CoV-2," said Nachum "Homi" Shamir, President and CEO of Luminex. "These additional alternatives leverage our globally available instrument platforms and assay technologies. They should be especially helpful to laboratories throughout the United States, given the recently released guidance from the Food and Drug Administration concerning high-complexity testing under CLIA prior to Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for SARS-CoV-2."
Luminex anticipates making two different solutions available for SARS-CoV-2 testing:
"Offering multiple solutions is a key part of Luminex's focus on providing value and flexibility to our current and future customers," said Shamir. "The assays we are working on will assist both laboratories and clinicians that need to detect SARS-CoV-2 on its own, as well as those that may need a more complete picture of potential causes of respiratory infections—including targets that are both common and novel in nature. In addition, Luminex's VERIGENE® RP Flex Test, NxTAG RPP, and ARIES® Flu A/B & RSV assays are all able to provide exclusion testing as laboratories grapple with the emerging COVID-19 situation during the flu/respiratory season. Given the expanding scope of this outbreak, it seems likely that we could be battling COVID-19 for the foreseeable future.
"We are unable to quantify at this time what, if any, material financial impact these efforts will have, and are not making any adjustments to our current expectations. We look forward to providing additional updates as they become available," said Shamir.
