Atomo has secured an AU$2.44 million industry grant to develop an innovative syphilis test

Oct 23, 2024

Atomo Diagnostics Limited (ASX: AT1) announces the reception of an AU$2.44 million Cooperative Research Centres Projects grant to lead the development of a revolutionary rapid test for active syphilis diagnosis. This grant follows extensive collaboration between Atomo and the Burnet Institute on a user-friendly solution to address this unmet clinical need.

Atomo will take charge of the project in partnership with the Burnet Institute and IDE Group, pooling their expertise. The unique test, designed for professional point-of-care use and at-home self-testing, combines Atomo’s proven integrated Pascal cassette with a small finger prick blood sample and a unique syphilis antibody assay developed by the Burnet Institute. This assay is capable of distinguishing active infections from previously treated cases. This pioneering rapid test solution will be the first in the global market. Existing rapid syphilis tests only detect antibodies present in both active infections and previously treated diseases.
