ReadyGo Diagnostics Ltd. has announced a strategic manufacturing partnership with global leader Porex to scale up production of its innovative Sampler, designed for use in human and veterinary diagnostics, drug testing, and forensics. The collaboration between the two companies marks a significant step towards the commercial availability of the ReadyGo Sampler, which has the potential to revolutionize sample collection and preparation in a wide range of diagnostic tests.
Porex, known for its custom-engineered porous polymer solutions, will leverage its ISO 13485 manufacturing capabilities to produce and distribute the ReadyGo Sampler globally. This partnership highlights ReadyGo’s commitment to meeting high demand and competitive pricing in the diagnostic landscape to make the Sampler available across diverse markets.
The Sampler distinguishes itself through its user-friendly design, providing a streamlined alternative to traditional swab-based sample collection protocols. It integrates sample collection and processing into a single disposable, compatible with various assay types such as lateral flow, molecular, immunoassays, and biochemical assays.
Engineered for consistency, Porex® collection media in the Sampler enables precise sample volumes, ensuring reproducible results across tests. Its incorporation of materials and chemistries makes it a biochemistry disposable. For example, inclusion of ReadyGo’s biosafe chemistry allows for instant cell lysing as sample is automatically taken up by the Sampler. This further exemplifies ReadyGo’s dedication to advancing diagnostic testing through clever design and materials.
Designed for both consumer and professional testing, the Sampler is adaptable for a wide range of sample types including saliva, buccal, blood, and urine. Its versatility extends to applications in human and veterinary diagnostics, forensics, and drug testing.
Through this partnership, ReadyGo and Porex aim to enhance diagnostic testing accessibility and efficiency, reinforcing a joint mission to support healthcare professionals, diagnostic companies, and consumers worldwide.
Richard Walker, Vice President and General Manager of Diagnostics at Porex, shared his excitement about the partnership, stating, “We are excited to partner with ReadyGo Diagnostics, a step that underlines our commitment to enabling diagnostics companies to push the boundaries of diagnostic testing.” He added, “The introduction of ReadyGo’s Sampler, an advanced sample collection device, marks a pivotal advancement in our efforts. It impresses us with its capability to simplify and enhance the efficiency of diagnostic sample collection.”
ReadyGo Diagnostics CEO Ben Cobb also expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Porex for the production of our innovative sample collection device, the Sampler.” He added, “The healthcare industry urgently needs better sample collection methods, and the Sampler is our answer to this challenge. By integrating swab and chemistry into a single, user-friendly device, the Sampler simplifies the collection process for users of all skill levels, supporting both antigen and molecular tests.”
