Diagnostic kits for aspergillosis
ISCA Director Professor Christopher Thornton invented the Aspergillus lateral-flow device, a point-of-care test for rapid detection of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, which uses the patented monoclonal antibody JF5.
Buy the Aspergillus lateral-flow device
The CE marked test was launched in May 2018 and can be purchased from OLM Diagnostics (www.olmdiagnostics.com).
