Announcement of Solicitation Subaward
We are pleased to announce that Meso Scale Diagnostics was awarded a contract to adapt their diagnostic testing platform into a point-of-care system for diagnosis of Chlamydia infections. This highly competitive award for development of novel point-of-care tests was made based on a review of a team of experts in the fields of medical technology, sexually transmitted disease and fieldable diagnostics. This technology will represent a significant advancement in the areas of STD testing and in diagnostic devices.
Developing Point-of-Care Tests for Chlamydia and Other STDs
The Johns Hopkins Center for STD Point-of-Care Tests (JHU C STD POCT) is seeking the development of novel detection technologies for Point of Care Tests. Successful
applications will describe the development of tests which minimally:
- can detect less than 5,000 elementary bodies of chlamydia/ml
- are rapid (time from sample to result under 4 hours)
- have low-labor burden for sample preparation and assay, and
- will be low cost (under $30/test).
