Applied DNA and Northwell Health entered into a pro bono Material Transfer Agreement (MTA), as announced APDN yesterday.
- Northwell’s CoVID-positive specimens can now be tracked in real-time using a real-time surveillance program established by the MTA for tracking and identification of variants of concern in SARS-CoV-2.
- As of right now, two thousand samples have been analyzed for the program, while preliminary results indicate that approximately 80% of specimens tested on the Company’s qPCR assays contain a mutation.
- In the future, utilizing data generated from the Program will enable Northwell to employ less costly and time-consuming next-generation sequencing (NGS) in order to definitively identify specific VOCs and subsequent descendants.
Finally,
A white paper (APDN-authored) on detecting the presence of SARS-CoV-2 will be published soon. Both parties will be able to monetize aggregate data from the Program under a revenue-share arrangement.
