MiQLab What separates MiQLab from current
automated RT-PCR solutions such as GenMark, Cepheid, BioFire... there are many unique features & benefits:
- Lexagene has designed MiQLab to be the most versatile automated RT-PCR solution. Lex is targeting many industries Food, Vet, Human, Open Access, Water, Pharma, Research.... not just human diagnostics like most competitors
- Open Access vs competitors closed access systems. Open Access allows for custom tests to be run on MiQLab. This is essential for many use cases and industries. Competitors utilize closed access systems that have expensive embedded cartridges (reagents inside). MiQLab is a microfluidic device (reagents are inside the machine not in the cartridge) this is a huge advantage. For example, detecting new Covid strains, that can be done within days of sequencing. Closed Access systems take months to manufacture embedded cartridges to do this.
- Cost/Test is by far the lowest, approx 1/10th vs competitors. This is a result of the microdfluidic design and the fact MiQLab uses empty cartridges and not expensive embedded cartridges. This allows Lex to target high throughput industries such as food and water...
- Quantitative vs Qualitative, MiQLab provides quantitative results. Results provide the level of an infection not just yes/no results. This is essential for many use cases and industries.
- Ease of use, anybody can operate. Less than 1 minute to load a test. No tech required
- Point of care solution, due to the ease of use and automated sample prep MiQLab can be used at the point of care/need
- Sample Size, MiQLab allows for samples up to 50,000ul vs competitors 500ul. This is essential for many industries such as food, water...
- sensitivity and gold standard results, MiQLab’s method of detection probe based qPCR and the sample prep method is sonication, chemical lysis, silica frit, RT-PCR devices use diffferent methods
