제목 : [ 다 카라 공시 ] 스마트폰 어 플 을 이용 한 rapid lentivirus test 제품 출시 
 A leading biotechnology company has developed a rapid test to measure recombinant lentivirus titers using a smartphone as a diagnostic reader . 
 Novarums next generation diagnostic technology transforms a smartphone into a test reader to rapidly deliver accurate results without the need for large or expensive instrumentation . 
 Working with Novarum , TBUSA developed a new Lenti - X GoStix Plus app which is used in conjunction with the companys Lenti - X GoStix Plus lateral flow test . The GoStix cassette detects the presence of lentiviral p 24 protein , and titer is quantified using a smartphone camera . 
 Lentiviral vectors have proven to be powerful tools for stable gene transfer to both dividing and non - dividing cells in vitro and in vivo . Until now , tests for measuring lentivirus titer were complicated and convoluted — it could take several hours to days , depending on the method used , to deliver only a single quantitative result . Applying Novarums patented image - capture technology now enables Takara Bios rapid tests to provide accurate , quantitative lentivirus titers in only ten minutes with virtually no effort . 
 Baz Smith , Associate Director , Gene Function Marketing at TBUSA , said , " Takara Bio is committed to doing good science that supports biotechnology research around the world . Working with Novarum , our pioneering Lenti - X GoStix Plus app has been successfully launched on both GooglePlay and the AppStore , for Android and Apple devices , respectively . Were proud of the positive feedback and the app store ratings weve already received from early adopters of our ground - breaking technology . " 
 Dr Neil Polwart , founder of Novarum and BBI Group Head of Mobile , said , " Our team has worked alongside Takara Bio to create a lateral flow reader and mobile app which enhances lentivirus testing . Its incredibly exciting to witness how our next - generation technology is challenging the accepted norms with improved efficiency and innovation . " 
 Acquired by BBI Solutions in 2016 , Novarum has revolutionised diagnostics by transforming a smartphone into a test reader . The results of disposable tests for toxicology , infectious or auto - immune disease are accurately read and shared securely via a dedicated portal , which is accessible online .
