Fast development of CE IVD molecular diagnostic kits: Highly specific microarray kit for 49 cystic fibrosis mutations

We present here an example of fast molecular diagnostic test development using HairLoop™ probes. This test is a microarray-based diagnostic kit, will be CE IVD labeled in 2008, and was developed for the diagnostic of 49 point mutations of the cystic fibrosis disease. Highly specific HairLoop™ probes allowed the development of this very simple-to-use kit, in less than one year.
