Mobidiag Novodiag

Mobidiag launched the Novodiag, a fully automated solution for syndromic and targeted testing for infectious disease. Novodiag allows direct analysis of a patient sample in a disposable cartridge and delivers results in a few hours, according to the firm. It also allows for the detection of antibiotic resistance. The PCR and microarray-based instrument is aimed at small- to medium-sized clinical microbiology labs with lower throughput requirements.
