Seegene Inc. introduced its new deployable container laboratory "MOBILE STATION", at the Medlab Middle East
2021, the medical laboratory and In Vitro Diagnostic exhibition which is taking place in Dubai
from June 21 to 24. Seegene's MOBILE STATION, an innovative laboratory-on-wheels facility, is designed to deploy the gold standard PCR testing solution to anywhere community-based testing is needed. While many countries around the world are planning to re-open their borders, schools, and public-use facilities, MOBILE STATION is considered an ideal option for conducting mass PCR testing in such locations. Also, MOBILE STATION can be mobilized anytime, allowing more people to utilize molecular diagnostics when needed. MOBILE STATION sets the new bar of PCR lab setting with its ability to deliver effective testing solutions to
anywhere testing is needed. PCR testing has been normally conducted only at fixed space due to concerns of
cross-contamination. However, MOBILE STATION, with Seegene's technology and know-how gained through operation of South Korea's large reference laboratory, has already minimized the overall risks of aerosol contamination posed in PCR process by installing Class 2 (A2) Bio-Safety Cabinet and negative pressure room.
From sample collection to automated interpretation of results, it offers streamlined and automated workflow
backed by the company's All-in-One platform thereby allowing equitable access to health care for the public.
Seegene'sAll-in-One platform, when fully utilized, can conduct up to 7500 tests per day with a turnaround time
of 3.5 hours. Seegene's pioneering concept of the mobile laboratory is expected to play a significant role in stopping the current pandemic since Seegene offers unparalleled PCR testing solution with its exclusive multiplex assays including Allplex SARS-CoV-2 Master Assay, a kit that simultaneously detects COVID-19 and multiple virus variants and Allplex™ SARS-CoV-2/FluA/FluB/RSV Assay, a kit differentiates 8 target genes including Flu A, Flu B, RSV A/B and three different target genes of COVID-19. MOBILE STATION is also fully compatible with Seegene's more than 150 multiplex assay menus including tests for respiratory infectious pathogens, HPV, STI, and GI. Seegene also introduced 'Combo Swab', a self-administrable sample collection device. In comparison to nasopharyngeal swab, typically used in sampling for COVID-19 PCR testing, in which health care providers collect samples by inserting a swab deep inside nostrils, Combo Swab allows individuals to simply collect samples with two individual swabs through swirling around their nasal and oral cavity by two individual swabs without any discomfort. In addition, Combo Swab with dual sample collection showed the same accuracy compared to nasopharyngeal swab. Self-sample collection availability of Combo Swab along with provisional space scalability of MOBILE STATION enables mass testing to be proceed in a quicker time and more efficient manner than the conventional process.
