Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) March 09, 2015

Co-Diagnostics, Inc. announced today that the company has completed work on its real-time PCR test for malaria, and it is now ready for in-field validation.

The real-time PCR malaria test is built on the company’s patent-pending CoPrimers™ technology. CoPrimers™ avoid both false-negatives and false-positives, common in other PCR tests, due to their unique ability to prevent the formation of the phenomenon known as “primer-dimers.” CoPrimers’™ unique design was the subject of a favorably reviewed article in the March 2014 issue of The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics, and further product advances will be the theme of an upcoming paper, soon to be submitted for publication. Both papers are authored by Co-Diagnostics founder Dr. Brent Satterfield.

Co-Diagnostics CEO Dwight Egan commented, “Malaria is a pervasive problem, particularly in countries that lack access to high-quality, accurate and affordable diagnostics. We are confident that our low-cost, highly sensitive PCR tests will have an impact on the diagnosis of a disease that continues to challenge health organizations and governments in many emerging nations.
