Enzo Announces Its Genflex Molecular Test Detects Current Covid-19 Variants Enzo Biochem, Inc. announced results of an analysis showing that tests processed on the company’s proprietary GENFLEX™ molecular diagnostic platform are successfully able to detect the presence of currently known variants of COVID-19. While the company’s PCR testing does not distinguish between different variants, positive samples can be further analyzed for variant identification. Rapid antigen tests currently available in the marketplace do not have this capability. On February 22, 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration issued new guidance for SARS-CoV-2 test developers to evaluate the potential impact of viral mutations on currently available diagnostic tests. In the guidance, the agency recommended molecular diagnostic test developers design their tests to minimize the impact of viral mutations on test performance, routinely monitor for viral mutations that may impact test performance, and clearly convey any test limitations in the test's labeling. Enzo’s GENFLEX™ Molecular Test has been shown to meet this standard. Enzo also recently published a new white paper analysis highlighting the key failures in the U.S. Diagnostics Sector’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic including challenges in development and delivery of accurate testing options, lack of scalability to meet demand, confusion about testing options and other areas. The paper, titled “COVID-19 Related Challenges in the U.S. Diagnostic Sector and Enzo’s Distinctive Response”, also outlines recommendations for broad structural changes to the diagnostics sector in the U.S. to position diagnostic companies and laboratories to better respond to global pandemics in the future.
The paper highlights several structural inadequacies that negatively affected the ability of the U.S. healthcare system to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and identifies a range of best practices for the diagnostics sector that can improve the nation’s healthcare infrastructure and ability to respond to global health crises. The study also offers perspectives on the emerging issue of testing variants of SARS-CoV-2, which is positioned as a potentially significant challenge that could lead to a new peak in infections. The study outlines the use of technology to probe the nucleocapsid (N) gene targets, presenting the potential to rapidly detect variants including B.1.1.7 (United Kingdom), P.1 (Brazil), and B.1.351 (South Africa) circulating worldwide. The ability to detect the incidence and spread of variants will play a central role in response to COVID-19 infection in the months ahead even as access to vaccines expands. Annuncio • Mar 02

Enzo Biochem, Inc. Announces Issuance of U.S. Patent for Polyclonal Antibodies Against Osteoporosis Drug Target Sclerostin Enzo Biochem, Inc. announced the recent issuance of U.S. Patent No. 10,899,827 entitled Antibodies Specific for Sulfation Sites of Sclerostin. The new patent is a member of a broader U.S. and international patent family that also includes issued patents and pending patent applications for therapies including monoclonal antibodies and small synthetic peptides used to inhibit sclerostin in the treatment of bone disorders such as osteoporosis. Enzo’s patent focuses on polyclonal antibodies that bind a specific region of human sclerostin, a protein that is a negative regulator of bone growth. Sclerostin is produced in osteocytes, a type of bone cell, and is known to inhibit bone formation. The maintenance of bone over time requires a balance between the formation of new bone tissue and the breakdown and removal of old bone tissue. Osteoporosis is a medical condition that causes bones to become brittle, making them more susceptible to fractures. According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, about 200 million people worldwide and 53 million people in the U.S. suffer from osteoporosis disorder and approximately 50% of women and 25% of men age 50 and older will break a bone due to osteoporosis. The global market for drugs to treat osteoporosis is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 4.4%, reaching $10.9 billion by 2026. Annuncio • Jan 22

Enzo Biochem Receives FDA Emergency Use Authorization for Testing Pooled Samples on Three Platforms Including company’s GENFLEX™ Proprietary System for Detection of Coronavirus SARS-Cov-2 Enzo Biochem, Inc. announced that it has received an expansion of its Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorizing the use of pooled samples containing up to five individual swab specimens with the Company’s AMPIPROBE® SARS-Cov-2 Test System utilizing tests on three different platforms including Enzo’s proprietary GENFLEX™ automated high-throughput platform. Pooling samples involves qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in up to five individual upper respiratory swab specimens collected in separate vials containing transport media from individuals that healthcare providers consider to be suspected of COVID-19 infection. Samples can include nasal, mid-turbinate, nasopharyngeal, or oropharyngeal swabs. The now authorized “pooled” approach significantly increases the number of individuals who can be tested with available testing resources. In its letter of authorization dated December 30, 2020, the FDA stated that the AMPIPROBE® SARS-Cov-2 Test System is authorized under EUA and the “product described in the Scope of Authorization of this letter (Section II) meets the criteria set forth in Section 564(c) of the (Federal, Food, Drug, and Cosmetic) Act concerning safety and potential effectiveness.

Enzo Biochem, Inc. Launches Portable Microplate Reader for Use with its Elisa and Assay Kits to Simplify Laboratory Workflow Enzo Biochem, Inc. announced the commercial launch of a small portable microplate reader for use with the company’s immunoassays and, ultimately, molecular diagnostics, providing new opportunities in point-of-care medicine. This affordable device enables Enzo to offer a complete solution to academic, CRO, and industrial customers. Enzo is the provider of over 17,000 ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and assay kits, including hundreds of highly sensitive ELISAs it manufactures. The advanced design and technology of Enzo’s compact microplate reader makes it possible to deliver precise and accurate results. Together with Enzo’s proprietary software, the device is an option for a wide variety of applications based on the miniaturization of Enzo’s assays. These tests include metabolites, hormones (e.g. pregnancy), proteins (e.g. inflammatory cytokines) and protein characterization. With support from an instrument manufacturing company, the Enzo portable reader enables lab work to be executed outside of traditional research facilities (that rely on shared instrumentation). Now, researchers and lab professionals can have a dedicated, personal device to fit their space and needs with convenience and accessibility not previously available. The handheld instrument is about one-tenth the size of the average benchtop plate reader, allowing it to fit into any laboratory setting and saving bench space while providing new levels of flexibility and portability that can be extended to point-of-care facilities to allow physicians to provide molecular testing including assays for viral detection and sexually transmitted diseases. The compact solid-state technology enables utilization of this instrument in new locations. With this technology, point-of-care testing can move from centralized, complex clinical labs closer to patient care. It simplifies testing procedures and opens up the opportunity to shift testing out of the hands of licensed medical technicians to healthcare professionals operating nearer to patients or, in some instances, even to patients themselves.
