NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESSWIRE / October 16, 2018 / The CoPrimer™ platform technology created by Co-Diagnostics, Inc. CODX, a molecular diagnostics company that uses this unique, proprietary platform in the development of their own molecular diagnostic tests, has been granted patent protection by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and is now being offered under license agreements with manufacturers and developers of molecular diagnostics in a broad array of industry segments.
Once protected by patents, polymerase chain reaction ("PCR") technology can safely be licensed for use by companies that use PCR to design their own diagnostic or research products. Examples of such technology include Roche's TaqMan® probes (RHHBY), LNA® technology by Santaris Pharma, Scorpions® Probes by Sigma-Aldrich (acquired by Merck, MRK) and SYBR® Green, produced by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO). With some recent reports estimating the size of the PCR diagnostics industry alone to reach over $7 billion within the next several years, Co-Diagnostics feels that the ability to monetize its technology in this space has never been more important, nor more valuable, which is now possible following the issuance of the CoPrimer patent.
The patented structure of the CoPrimer molecule has been shown to enhance the output of PCR molecular diagnostic tests by dramatically minimizing the false positive test results that are often caused by traditional primer molecules, making the technology ideal for a wide array of PCR applications. Co-Diagnostics anticipates that the licensing market for their technology includes applications for infectious diseases, SNP/SNV detection, agricultural and food supply chain uses, liquid biopsy, and next generation sequencing.
Companies and laboratories interested in learning more about licensing CoPrimers to design better, higher-performing PCR applications can contact the company at: info@codiagnostics.com.
