"With NYSDOH full approval now in hand, we are positioning ADCL as a rapid TAT reference lab to hospital systems and clinical labs who have suspected monkeypox cases but have not developed a diagnostic or cannot return results in clinically relevant times," continued Dr. Hayward. "We believe that operating as a reference lab is a strategic business model that allows ADCL to focus on what it does best – delivering cost effective, turnkey, and rapid TAT clinical testing services to high-volume clients. In addition, we are moving to bring our new testing capability to the attention of institutions that maintain congregate living settings that we believe could be high-risk environments for the spread of contact-based monkeypox."

ADCL’s monkeypox test utilizes an A17L gene-target specific to monkeypox virus Clade II that enables the qualitative detection and differentiation of the monkeypox virus from other non-variola orthopoxviruses using real-time PCR. Testing will be performed at ADCL’s CLEP/CLIA molecular diagnostics laboratory in Stony Brook, N.Y., utilizing its established and proven workflows to ensure accurate results and competitive turnaround times.
