ReadyGo™ has entered into an assay development agreement with Gemina Laboratories Ltd. (Gemina), a Canadian company that specialises in fast, affordable and accurate diagnostic tests. ReadyGo™ will develop, optimise and validate an assay for the detection of MTB for Gemina to run on ReadyGo’s off-grid isothermal diagnostic platform, Geo. The Geo platform provides rapid results in any location in under 30 minutes and is expected to play a crucial role in the diagnosis of MTB within near-patient settings.
