DiaSorin Molecular LLC’s Simplexa® HSV 1 & 2 Direct Assay Receives FDA Clearance for Extended Swab Sample Claims

DiaSorin Molecular LLC announced today that the company has received FDA clearance extending the sample type claims of its Simplexa^® HSV 1 & 2 Direct assay. The clearance expands the type of samples that can be tested, from genital swabs to all cutaneous and mucocutaneous swab samples. FDA clearance of the assay for testing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples was received in 2014. With these additional sample types, the DiaSorin Molecular Simplexa HSV 1 & 2 assay now has the most comprehensive sample type coverage for HSV testing in the market. CE Marking for these extended sample claims was attained late last year.

DiaSorin Molecular Introduces Primer Pair Reagents for
A. phagocytophilum, Ehrlichia and Babesia

DiaSorin Molecular LLC introduces three new primer pairs for use in laboratory-developed molecular tests. The reagents are specific to three bacterial targets – Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ehrlichia and Babesia species. These bacteria are commonly carried by ticks. The new offerings join DiaSorin Molecular’s menu of more than 60 molecular reagents for bacterial, viral and fungal targets in addition to human genetic mutations.
