Abstract

Atlas Genetics has developed a point-of-care device for Chlamydia trachomatis utilizing a novel electrochemical detection principle. The assay has a time-to-result of less than 25 min. An independent preclinical validation study using 306 pretyped clinical samples determined a clinical sensitivity of 98.1% and specificity of 98.0%.
