The European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) is an important event in the calendar of microbiologists and researchers in the field of Infectious Diseases. The 32nd ECCMID 2022 was held in Lisbon, Portugal. We met with a lot of scientists around the world to discuss with them about their work and how it could benefit from our SwiftX nucleic acid extraction solutions. And nicely, we can report a nice achievement for Xpedite Diagnostics: the first scientific publication using one of our products, namely SwiftX™ DNA. Hanne Brekke from Oslo University Hospital presented her work on detection of visceral leishmaniasis from whole blood samples. The conclusion from the data is that SwiftX DNA provides a sensitive, simple & fast way of extraction of the parasite's DNA.
Furthermore, it was good to see the interest from many brands in the diagnostic industry in our technology for rapid RNA extraction and DNA isolation. We are confident that several of these contacts will lead to exciting collaborations in the near future, where our technology can improve the nucleic acid extraction workflows of industrial partners.
