While typically harmless in healthy adults, GBS can have devastating consequences if passed from mother to baby during childbirth. Understanding carrier rates, the potential impact, and th...Read more -
How Can Freeze-Drying Technology Make Molecular Diagnostics More Stable, Cost-Effective, Simple, and Convenient? Macro & Micro-Test(MMT) Has the Innovative Answer!
As nucleic acid testing becomes a routine necessity, have you faced these challenges: reagents that risk degradation during transport, contamination-prone opening procedures, or activity loss from repeated freeze-thaw cycles? A century-old “age-defying” technology—vacuum freeze-drying...Read more -
From Vague Threat to Clear Action: Redefining the Standard with HPV 28 Genotyping
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are extremely common. While the majority of infections are cleared by the immune system within 1-2 years without consequence, a small percentage of persistent high-risk HPV infections can silently initiate a carcinogenic process that may span 10 to 20 years. ...Read more -
Fully Automation Molecular POCT and NGS For Diarrhea Detection
Diarrhea is often a sign of gastrointestinal infection caused by viruses, bacteria, or other pathogens. It poses significant risks not only to children but also to the elderly, immunocompromised individuals, and people in crowded or post-disaster settings. Particularly during the autumn and winte...Read more -
Transforming C. diff Detection: Achieving Fully Automated, Sample-to-Answer Molecular Diagnostics
What causes C. Diff infection? Diff infection is caused by a bacterium known as Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile), that usually resides harmlessly in the intestines. However, when the gut’s bacterial balance is disturbed, often broad-spectrum antibiotic use, C. difficile can grow excessive...Read more -

Beyond the Common Cold: Understanding the True Impact of Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV)
When a child develops a runny nose, cough, or fever, many parents instinctively think of the common cold or flu. Yet a significant share of these respiratory illnesses—especially the more severe ones—are caused by a lesser-known pathogen: Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV). Since its discovery in 2001,...Read more -
