Attana announced that the company has strengthened its collaboration with the Linnaeus University to accelerate the development of unique antibody tests for COVID-19. Furthermore, the company moves forward with the regulatory efforts for AVA™ and implements a number of organizational changes aimed to establish an expert team leading the diagnostics initiative independent of Attana's ongoing operations. Strengthened collaboration with the Linnaeus University: The Linnaeus University in Kalmar installed its first Attana instrument as early as 2003, and in 2019 the university was granted funding from the Swedish Knowledge Foundation to in collaboration, with amongst others Attana perform research with ultra-sensitive sensors. Attana can announced that the company, within the framework of the above-mentioned project, will deepen its collaboration with the university. Attana will dedicate an applications specialist with a background in immunology to optimizing Attana's diagnostic platform's existing test for analysis of antibodies and immunity to SARS-CoV-2. This antibody test is expected to not only provide with binary yes or no answer to whether an individual has developed antibodies or not, but also the concentration and quality of these antibodies - something that Attana and the Linnaeus University could be the first ever to offer. The purpose of such a nuanced test is to eventually be able to draw conclusions about individuals' level of immunity. The research going forward is expected to determine exactly which components the AVA™ test kit should include and which test protocol the diagnostic platform should proceed with in order to obtain regulatory approval.
