Todos Medical Announces PCR Validation of Wound and Respiratory Pathogen Panels at CLIA/CAP Lab Provista Diagnostics

New York, NY, and Tel Aviv, ISRAEL , Aug. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Todos Medical, Ltd. (OTC-BB:TOMDF), a comprehensive medical diagnostics and related solutions company, today announced that its CLIA/CAP-certified laboratory Provista Diagnostics has completed validation of its PCR-based Wound and Respiratory Pathogen panels. The Wound Panel (WP) is a 31-pathogen multiplexed PCR panel, including antibiotic resistance, taken from swab samples of a wound or lesion that will assist physicians in determining which combinations of drug therapies prescribed to the patient will result in the best patient outcomes. The Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP) is 24-pathogen multiplexed PCR panel taken from nasal or saliva samples that will assist physicians in making better treatment decisions for patients presenting with respiratory illnesses. Both the WP and RPP tests can be run on Provista’s state-of-the-art Tecan and 3D Med liquid handling automation systems that improve efficiency, safety and capacity, allowing Provista to currently perform up to 25,000 PCR tests per day. With nine (9) liquid handling systems currently onsite at Provista from former Todos PCR testing lab clients, the Company expects Provista to soon be able to run up to 50,000 PCR tests per day. Provista now has 7 Thermo Fisher PCR systems (2 QuantStudio 12k Flex, 2 QuantStudio 7 Flex, 3 QuantStudio 5) and 1 Biorad (CFX) system providing an ability to run over 2,400 patient samples at a time. The Company will continue to redeploy automation and equipment assets towards Provista as 3rd party lab testing contracts wind down.
