Mobidiag’s Molecular Test Gains CE Mark

Finnish diagnostics developer Mobidiag earned the CE Mark for its Novodiag CarbaR+ test, which can detect bacteria that are resistant to carbapenem antibiotics.

The multiplex qPCR- and microarray-based test detects carbapenemase-producing enterobacteriaceae and provides results in 80 minutes through the company’s automated Novodiag system.

Mobidiag also has two other CE-marked antibiotic resistance screening tests, CarbaR+VRE and CarbaR+MCR, that are run on its Amplidiag multiplex system.
