We have taken the most successful consumer diagnostic
technology and adapted it for multiple markets.
Glucose monitors are the most successful consumer diagnostic
product with a $15bn market. Luas Diagnostics has re-engineered the
sensor used in glucose monitors and applied it to detect a
wide range of analytes.

Luas Diagnostics has a range of tests in development to support
the Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Test (TDM) market.
TDM is the measurement of specific drugs in a patient’s
bloodstream at selected intervals to help optimise individual
dosing regimens.
TDM is mainly used for monitoring drugs with a narrow therapeutic range, drugs with variable absorption rates, medications for which target concentrations are difficult to monitor and drugs that can cause adverse effects. TDM aims to validate and optimise
appropriate concentrations of difficult-to-manage medications to enable the assessment of the efficacy and safety of the medication in a variety of clinical environments.

Covid-19 rapid testing
The containment of the spread of Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2) infection requires extensive testing followed by tracing of contacts of those who test positive. Reducing the turnaround time from the taking of the sample to the reporting of the result will expedite this process.
Conducting rapid testing in locations such as airports, care-homes, workplaces, clinics and drive-through testing centres and not in large laboratory settings where the turnaround time may be days, will enable results to be reported immediately, accelerating contact tracing and patient isolation, reducing further spread of infection.
Luas Diagnostics is collaborating with the Department of Biotechnology in the University of Birmingham to develop an electrochemistry-based Covid-19 antigen test using saliva rather than a nasopharyngeal swab sample. Recent studies have shown that saliva samples are more accurate than the use of nasopharyngeal swabs in the detection of the virus.
The goal is to develop a highly accurate test for Covid-19 to be used in remote settings and providing results in minutes.
Life threatening infectious diseases
Luas Diagnostics is launching an exciting range of rapid, accurate and easy to use products for life threatening infectious diseases, including Covid-19 (SARS-Cov-2) antibody and antigen tests.
The products, which are CE-IVD approved, are developed and manufactured by Chembio Diagnostic Systems Inc of Medford, New York and will be sold exclusively by Luas Diagnostics in the UK and Ireland.
