Huntsville, Ala. November 13, 2017 – iCubate®, Inc., an innovative molecular diagnostic device company, announced today that it will host a workshop presentation at the Association of Molecular Pathology (AMP) meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah. The presentation will be on Wednesday, November 15 at 4 pm at the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center.
The presentation, titled “Clinical Application of the iCubate Gram-Positive Cocci (iC-GPC) Assay,” will feature key opinion leaders and iCubate leadership. The iC-GPC Assay™, used for the rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria associated with bloodstream infections, earned U.S. FDA clearance earlier this year.
Among those participating in the workshop presentation are:
“This workshop will be an interesting and informative presentation on the qualities of the iCubate System and FDA-cleared assay,” said Dr. Paul Granato. “Performance data of the assay, user experience of the platform and iCubate’s product pipeline will all be addressed.”
In addition to the AMP Corporate Workshop, iCubate invites attendees to visit the iCubate Exhibit at booth #1009 throughout the week. On Saturday, November 18 at 9:45 am until 10:45 am, Dr. Conover will present findings on iCubate’s next assay, the iC-Gram Negative (GN) panel.
“All of us at iCubate are looking forward to this presentation and all of the activities of AMP 2017. Presenting in Salt Lake City this week allows us to highlight the outstanding qualities of iCubate’s recently FDA cleared platform and iC-GPC Assay,” said Carter Wells, iCubate’s Chief Executive Officer.
The iC-GPC Assay™ is a multiplexed, in vitro diagnostic test for the identification of potentially pathogenic bacteria and clinically significant resistance markers, to aid in the diagnosis of bacterial bloodstream infections (BSI).

The iCubate platform and assay provides results up to 48 hours faster than conventional methods. The iC-GPC Assay™ provides identification of five of the most common gram-positive organisms associated with gram-positive bacteremia, including Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, the assay identifies three clinically relevant antibiotic resistance markers specific to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus.
