RT MicroDx is developing an easy-to-use, home diagnostic platform that detects bacterial or viral pathogens and offers a DNA amplification molecular test for the cost of a copay. By leveraging the high sensitivity and robustness of Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP), our molecular test only requires saliva as opposed to specimens obtained by painful throat swabbing. More importantly, our product is affordable yet robust due to inexpensive components and a proprietary hydrogel technology, making healthcare more accessible to all. This platform technology will allow for the diagnosis of some of the most common disease-causing pathogens at home. Given the recent spikes in cases, we are focusing our first product on detecting the pathogen that causes strep throat.
