IQuum’s products enable the less experienced personnel to perform sophisticated molecular diagnostic testing in any setting. The Liat™ system refines molecular diagnostics to three simple steps: collecting a raw biological sample such as whole blood, plasma, or swab into a Liat Tube; scanning the tube’s barcode; and inserting the tube into the Liat Analyzer. The analyzer automatically executes all the required assay processes, including reagent preparation, nucleic acid purification, amplification and real-time detection, in 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the assay. The Liat system’s compact size, ease-of-use, full automation and rapid turnaround time will make it ideally suited for decentralized or near-patient nucleic acid testing.

Leveraging the Liat system, IQuum is focused on developing a pipeline of Liat assays for infectious disease and genetic testing. Liat assays utilize proven assay chemistries, such as silica bead-based nucleic acid extraction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time detection, to achieve the same quality of results as that obtained in laboratory nucleic acid tests, while providing the sample-to-result automation and ease-of-use to enable decentralized use. With a turnaround time of only 20 minutes to 1 hour, Liat assays are the fastest nucleic acid test developed to date. These assays will provide the next generation of capabilities for clinical diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring applications.
