Huntsville, Ala. March 7, 2018 – iCubate®, Inc., an innovative molecular diagnostic device company, announced today that it will host a workshop presentation at the South Central Association of Clinical Microbiology meeting in French Lick, Indiana. The presentation, “Providing Molecular Diagnostic Solutions One Cassette at a Time,” will be on Thursday, March 8 at 10 am at the French Lick Resort, 8670 West State Street.
Among the items discussed will be the importance of timely, accurate results when detecting bloodstream infection, clinical laboratory requirements and iCubate’s recently cleared iC-GPC Assay™. The iC-GPC Assay is used for the rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria (gram-positive cocci) associated with bloodstream infections. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about iCubate’s pipeline of products that will serve clinical laboratories.
iCubate’s FDA cleared technology tests for multiple pathogens simultaneously from a single sample, simplifying the clinical workflow. The iC-GPC Assay is coupled with the iCubate System, which provides an easy to use, automated, platform. The iC-System™ meets clinical laboratory needs and improves patient treatment through time-saving personalized diagnostics.
Presenting to the SCACM attendees will be Matthew Faron, PhD, Instructor, Clinical Microbiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin; and Matthew Conover, PhD, Assay Developer and Molecular Biologist at iCubate.
“As someone who has been working with the iCubate system and iC-GPC Assay, I have first-hand knowledge of the performance and user experience”, said Dr. Faron. “I look forward to discussing my experience with iCubate at SCACM”.
Representatives from iCubate will also be available at the conference’s exhibit area, booth 220.
“Presenting at SCACM is an outstanding opportunity to showcase the iCubate technology and platform to those working each day in clinical laboratories. Our goal is to provide accurate, rapid results that ultimately impacts patient care in a positive way,
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.
