In early 2020, Convergent Technologies introduced its Convergys® POC RT-PCR Nucleic Acid Detection System, a fully-integrated system from the viral RNA extraction to onsite reference and central lab-grade results in real-time. Convergys® POC RT-PCR integrates WHO endorsed RT-PCR methodology into a convenient and easy-to-use format. The pre-filled, single-use cartridges take care of the complete patient sample processing, including RNA extraction, purification and RT-PCR amplification- all within 90 minutes. Convergent has been a trusted partner in fast and reliable patient triage, isolation and therapy management solutions during the COVID -19 pandemic. These systems are currently in active use at CDCs, University Research Institutes, Clinics, Tourism Organizations, National Defence, Critical Support Infrastructures and NGOs in EU and in many other geographies worldwide.
The test menu has been expanded in Q2 of 2021 to include test panels for combined COVID-19, Influenza and RSV detection, test panels for pathogenic Mycobacteria, test panels for vector borne infections and tests for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
A comprehensive range of tests in the field of Veterinary Diagnostics has also been introduced in the Q3 2021 for pet and farm animal healthcare.
