What We Do
Genalyte is a tech-enabled, full service CAP accredited and CLIA certified laboratory. We perform the majority of tests with our rapidly deployable mobile laboratory in under 30 minutes. Our central lab handles tests that cannot be performed onsite. All results are run through CloudLab, our proprietary tele-health platform, for quality oversight and monitoring by Clinical Lab Scientists.
Core to our mobile capabilities is the Maverick platform, which has unprecedented serological testing functionality - permitting up to 64 simultaneous immunoassays on whole blood in 15 minutes. The platform achieved FDA clearance in Oct 2019. In these unprecedented times, we have developed a rapid COVID-19 serology test for IgG and IgM antibodies, while simultaneously including flu and other respiratory illnesses for differential diagnosis.
