Gemina Laboratories Ltd. Laboratories and ReadyGo Diagnostics Limited Diagnostics Achieve Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Diagnosis in Saliva Gemina Laboratories Ltd. announced significant technical results from its collaboration with ReadyGo Diagnostics Ltd. This represents the first step of Gemina's move into molecular diagnostics adding further diagnostic capability to compliment their lateral flow programme. Results from a collaboration which began in January 2023, Gemina and ReadyGo are proud to announce the successful feasibility of detecting Mycobacterium Tuberculosis ("MTB") in a saliva matrix using the ReadyGo GEO platform. This breakthrough in MTB detection paves the way for affordable testing which will have the potential to significantly impact MTB eradication efforts in countries such as India, Indonesia, and other affected regions worldwide. The feasibility of utilizing saliva as a sample for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis through a molecular diagnostic test has been successfully demonstrated. MTB, commonly referred to as "Tuberculosis", is a highly infectious airborne disease caused by bacteria that affects the lungs, and was responsible for more than 10 million global infections in 2021, causing 1.6 million deaths. Alarmingly, an estimated 4 million infections (2 out of every 5 cases) remain undiagnosed and untreated, enhancing disease control efforts. Diagnosis in low- to middle-income countries, where MTB is most prevalent, typically relies on sm microscopy using sputum samples. However, these tests have significant limitations, particularly in remote areas and when diagnosing certain patient populations such as children and the elderly, who struggle to produce sputum. This innovative solution will provide results within 30 minutes, anywhere, at an affordable cost. Following the successful feasibility stage, the team anticipates introducing a compact laboratory instrument retailing for less than $1000, with a per-test cost of $5, enabling field testing near patients.

Gemina Laboratories Ltd. Antibody Immobilization Chemistry Platform Demonstrates Major Lateral Flow Assay Performance Improvement Gemina Laboratories Ltd. announced that its patented chemistry for Antibody Immobilization allows for a massive reduction in antibody usage when used in lateral flow assay (LFA) diagnostic tests. This represents the confirmation of a major technical milestone on the LFA format for Gemina. The Antibody Immobilization Platform allows for the reduction of test line antibody requirements by 75% vs. standard physisorption, without impacting limit-of-detection. Gemina's Antibody Immobilization Platform creates a bridge (the Gemina Bridge) between a sensor surface and the antibodies stuck on that surface for target capture. Use of the Gemina Bridge results in optimized antibody usage and increased target capture activity per unit area of sensor surface. Therefore, use of the Gemina Bridge imparts both significant performance advantages and significant manufacturing advantages with LFA tests. The industry standard antibody immobilization technique on nitrocellulose used in LFAs - non-specific physisorption, results in only 5-20% of the antibodies deposited on a sensor being "active" or capable of target capture. The Gemina Bridge rescues this lost antibody activity, meaning much less antibody is required to deliver the same test performance. Laboratory Study: This massive reduction in antibody requirements was thoroughly demonstrated on the lateral flow assay test line with a COVID-19 rapid antigen test developed by Gemina Labs at the RAPIvD laboratories in Sharnbrook, UK. Instead of striping the antibodies directly onto the nitrocellulose (NC) strip, the Gemina Bridge is first stripped down to form a closely-packed monolayer, onto which the antibodies form a dense secondary layer with four times higher target capture activity than standard antibody-only test lines. Modeling Study: Dr. Robert Davies, an independent surface chemist expert, specializing in lateral flow assay development, was engaged by Gemina Laboratories to model the adsorption of the Gemina Antibody Immobilization Bridge to nitrocellulose, in comparison to optimal close packing of non-specifically adsorbed IgG antibodies. Calculations support the creation of four times more antibody immobilization sites per unit of surface area with the Gemina Bridge, as highlighted in the above-linked white paper. In summary, the Gemina Antibody Immobilization Platform acts as a bridge between a sensor surface, in this instance the nitrocellulose test strip in a lateral flow assay, and the antibody used for target capture. Modeling data and internal experimental results indicate that use of the Gemina Bridge increases the density of active antibodies on the test strip by four times versus standard immobilization methods, meaning 75% less antibody is needed with the Gemina Bridge to achieve the same performance as a standard test. This represents a massive savings in antibody consumption during test fabrication. Annuncio • Jan 26

Gemina Laboratories Ltd. Completes Influenza A/B Diagnostic Test Prototype Gemina Laboratories Ltd. announced the completion of its influenza A/B rapid test prototype. The company announced its intention to develop an influenza diagnostic in second quarter of 2022, using the company's unique chemistry platform. Influenza A/B: Demand for tests for influenza and other common illnesses has been growing significantly as health care providers seek to distinguish between diseases with common symptoms. In the post-pandemic era, consumers are also demanding greater control over their health status, creating substantial global demand for low-cost diagnostic tools that can be self-administered. After an extensive antibody screening program, Gemina Laboratories, in partnership with RAPIvD, has completed the development of an influenza A/B rapid test prototype (the Gemina Benchmark Test) for internal benchmarking studies to further demonstrate the performance improvements imparted by the Gemina chemistry platform. The Gemina Benchmark Test is designed using the traditional Lateral Flow Assay ("LFA") format commonly found in the rapid COVID tests used throughout the pandemic. The Gemina Benchmark Test has been shown to reliably detect multiple strains of whole influenza A and influenza B viruses in artificial nasal fluid-spiked samples on a single test strip with no cross-reactivity between flu A and B. The Benchmark will now enter the optimization phase, followed by pre-clinical performance evaluation with patient samples. Once performance evaluation is complete, the Gemina Benchmark Test will be put through a series of head-to-head performance evaluation studies against the same test built using Gemina's proprietary immobilization chemistry. This will be a true direct comparison between its proprietary LFA design and the industry standard LFA design. The resultant data will provide a direct measure of the improvements imparted by the Gemina technology in comparison to standard LFAs. Indeed, preliminary comparative studies utilizing the Gemina immobilization chemistry indicate the potential to reduce antibody usage by 6-8 times, while maintaining equivalent sensitivity to the traditional design. Since the majority of LFA tests use expensive antibodies to capture the virus and allow for detection on the test strip, this potential large reduction in antibody use represents a substantial benefit in terms of both cost reduction and improved supply chain security. The next steps for the further integration of the Gemina chemistry platform into its panel of upcoming diagnostic products will be provided in the CEO's strategy update to be released in January 2023.

Gemina Laboratories Ltd. Announces Completion of Significant Development Step for Its SARS-COV-2 Rapid Test Gemina Laboratories Ltd. provided an update on its current activities related to the development of its first rapid diagnostic test targeting the SARS CoV-2 antigen, using the Company's patented breakthrough chemistry platform. Following the previously announced prototype design freeze for use in saliva and the transfer of the prototype to International Point of Care (IPOC), the company announced the completion of another important milestone, namely: design freeze for shallownasal swab testing. From a regulatory perspective, nasal swabs have become the leading method for large scale rapid testing globally. Gemina's team previously announced that their SARS-CoV-2 test has already demonstrated outstanding performance in a lab setting. Independent laboratory results with Gemina's prototype SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test indicated the company was able to reliably detect recombinant SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid in saliva and nasal fluid samples with significantly higher sensitivity when compared with a panel of seven leading commercial rapid antigen tests. This latest milestone indicates that the performance of this finalized test design with inactivated virus and with real patient samples is sufficient evidence to initiate the production of three feasibility lots (of 3,500 rapid tests per lot) which will undergo third party performance evaluations. The test has been optimized for use with anterior (shallow) nasal swab samples in response to market and regulatory signals. Detection of inactivated virus in artificial nasal fluid at clinically relevant concentrations has been independently confirmed by an external laboratory using the Gemina test. A second independent evaluation is scheduled to occur within the next week. The test has also been run against nasal fluid provided from a panel of COVID-negative volunteers and shown to exhibit no non-specific binding (no false positive signals). In the following three months, the test will be taken through a series of sensitivity and specificity trials in advance of feasibility lot production, including evaluation of test specificity against seasonal coronaviruses. Three feasibility lots will then be tested to confirm sensitivity, usability, shelf stability, and lot-to-lot consistency with contrived inactivated virus samples. The test will then be subjected to an external performance evaluation with retrospective patient samples as part of the compilation of the data pack required to support regulatory submissions. Successful completion of these performance evaluations is a critical step towards manufacturing scale-up and allows the company to advance commercialization efforts through distribution and licensing agreements.
