MIKROGEN Expands Diagnostic Product Range with T-Track® SARS-CoV-2 Test for Assessing T-cell Mediated Immune Responses
Mikrogen GmbH, a company developing genetically manufactured in vitro diagnostics, today announced the expansion of its product portfolio with the introduction of its T-Track® SARS-CoV-2 test to determine T-cell mediated immune responses.
The new RT-qPCR-based T-Track® assays (T-Track® SARS-CoV-2) detect the mRNA expression of specific marker cytokines, which in addition to the reactivity of memory T-cells also detect the reactivity of in vivo activated effector T-cells, thereby achieving the highest possible sensitivity. The new technology can detect several cytokines simultaneously by PCR with comparative ease and therefore stands out from other available methods for determining T-cell activity.

Launch of Capitainer® B Vanadate, a blood sampling card that eliminates the risk of inaccurate test results when analyzing PEth
Swedish medtech scaleup Capitainer today announced the launch of its proprietary patent pending blood sampling card, Capitainer B Vanadate for accurate analysis of PEth, a key marker for long term alcohol use/abuse.
Dried Blood Spot (DBS) sampling has been proposed as a method to solve the problem of post sampling formation of PEth occurring in traditional venous blood samples. However, the hematocrit effect gives negative impact on the accuracy due to uncertainty of the blood volume in DBS. Capitainer B Vanadate solves both problems in the same device and creates a new better standard.
