bioLytical Laboratories Inc. Receives Health Canada Authorization for its INSTI® Multiplex HIV-1/2 Syphilis Antibody Test

bioLytical Laboratories Inc. announced today that it has launched its INSTI® Multiplex HIV-1/2 Syphilis Antibody Test for professional use in Canada

INSTI® Multiplex HIV-1/2 Syphilis Antibody Test

INSTI® Multiplex HIV-1/2 Syphilis Antibody Test Package

  • bioLytical has received Health Canada authorization to sell its INSTI® Multiplex HIV-1/2 Syphilis Antibody Test across Canada for professional use in point-of-care settings
  • By providing results for two infections with only one sample, the test helps reduce test anxiety for patients by allowing healthcare professionals to test more people in less time
  • The test is portable and can be performed in a multitude of settings with easy-to-understand results
  • As part of the Health Canada review and authorization, the submission included clinical data from the two-year PoSH Study led by researchers at the University of Alberta and St. Michael’s Hospital, a site of Unity Health Toronto
  • Test performance in clinical studies demonstrated high accuracy, with industry-leading sensitivity and specificity
  • bioLytical’s quality system is MDSAP: ISO 13485 certified

RICHMOND, British Columbia, March 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — bioLytical Laboratories Inc. (“bioLytical”), a global leader in rapid in-vitro medical diagnostics, announced today that it has received Health Canada authorization for its INSTI® Multiplex HIV-1/2 Syphilis Antibody Test, allowing its immediate entry into the Canadian market. Furthermore, bioLytical is working on a self-test version to ensure Canadians of all demographics can access regular and early testing for both infections, where and when it works best for them.

“I am proud to lead a team of hardworking and innovative individuals who consistently push the boundaries of what is possible,” says Rob Mackie, CEO of bioLytical. “Our continued dedication to excellence allowed us to achieve this remarkable milestone that will help Canadians across all demographics access early testing in various settings.”

As a well-known leader in global HIV testing with its innovative INSTI® HIV-1/2 Antibody Test, authorized by Health Canada for both professional and self-testing use, bioLytical has leveraged its proprietary INSTI® technology to develop the INSTI® Multiplex HIV-1/2 Syphilis Antibody Test, first approved and in use across Europe and Africa since 2016.

The test is designed to detect both HIV-1/2 and syphilis antibodies with one sample using a simple fingerprick method to deliver accurate results in one minute or less. Mobile and simple to use, INSTI® allows healthcare professionals to test in various environments, providing flexible options for persons that face barriers to accessing healthcare.

As part of Health Canada’s review and subsequent authorization, the two-year Point of Care Tests for Syphilis and HIV (PoSH) Study, completed between August 2020 and February 2022, was included in the submission process. The Study, led by researchers at the University of Alberta and St. Michael’s hospital, a site of Unity Health Toronto, showcased the importance of regular and frequent testing to help connect patients to care. Due to the real-time results that the innovative INSTI® platform provides, those who tested positive for HIV were either linked or relinked to care, and of those that tested positive for active syphilis, the majority (87.4%) were treated immediately following point-of-care test results, and the remaining participants were treated within a median of four days.

Syphilis is a serious health issue that can lead to long-term health consequences if left untreated. Canada is currently experiencing unprecedented syphilis infection rates, with a 166% nationwide increase from 2017-2021. Rates have increased across all demographics, with new infections increasing by 20% between 2020 and 2021 despite decreased access to STBBI services during the pandemic. Furthermore, there is a growing concern about increasing congenital syphilis, with a 1271% increase in the same period.

With an estimated 62,790 persons living with HIV (PLWH) in Canada and with an estimated 1,520 new HIV infections annually, co-infection with syphilis and HIV is a growing concern. While both infections can affect anyone, having a STI such as syphilis increases the chance of acquiring HIV and in PLWH, increases the chances of passing on HIV. Additionally, syphilis sores or ulcers can allow HIV and other STIs to enter the body.

Rapid testing is instrumental in ending HIV and syphilis as public health threats. Regular and early access to testing allows medical professionals to offer early interventions by quickly connecting patients to care and support, reducing onward transmission, and increasing awareness of prevention methods.

If syphilis is diagnosed within a year of infection, it can usually be treated with a single injection of medication. HIV treatment has also progressed significantly since the virus was identified over 40 years ago, allowing persons living with HIV to lead long and healthy lives on treatment. Creating a test that can identify both infections with a single sample helps ensure that Canadians can connect to care quickly and equitably. The INSTI® Multiplex HIV-1/2 Syphilis Antibody Test is an innovative and efficient approach to increasing access to early and regular testing for sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs) in Canada.

“With the rise of syphilis in Canada, including the concerning increase in congenital syphilis, there is an urgent need for a fast and reliable rapid diagnostic test,” said Mackie. “With the development of a highly accurate and innovative one-minute test, INSTI® allows Canadians to learn their status to two infections with only one drop of blood, helping more Canadians access testing, learn their status, and connect to care.”

bioLytical will manufacture the INSTI® Multiplex HIV-1/2 Syphilis Antibody Test in its MDSAP: ISO 13485-certified facility in British Columbia to sell and distribute across Canada. As a global leader in ultra-rapid infectious disease diagnostics, bioLytical is working to ensure our test kits are available to Canadians so they can know their status.

bioLytical Laboratories Inc. is a privately-owned Canadian company focused on researching, developing, and commercializing rapid in-vitro medical diagnostics using its proprietary INSTI® technology platform and its lateral flow line, iStatis. bioLytical has won several local and industry awards, including B.C. Exporter of the Year in 2019. We have been named Lifesciences B.C.’s Growth Stage Med Tech Company of the Year and featured on B.C.’s Fastest-Growing Companies for six years, including the Globe and Mail’s Fastest Growing Companies list in 2020. bioLytical moved to a significantly larger, state-of-the-art facility in Richmond, B.C., in 2020 to accommodate the extraordinary growth achieved through our team. Providing accurate results in one minute or less, the INSTI® range includes the INSTI® HIV-1/HIV-2 Antibody Test, INSTI® Multiplex HIV Syphilis Ab Test, INSTI® HIV Self Test, INSTI® Covid-19 Antibody Test, and the INSTI® HCV Antibody Test. bioLytical sells its products in Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Asia. In 2022, bioLytical launched iStatis, its new lateral flow testing platform, to create additional access to testing worldwide.

By delivering accurate results in real-time, INSTI® and iStatis generate meaningful outcomes for medical professionals, patients, and public health organizations worldwide and is a key partner in tackling some of the world’s most severe healthcare challenges.

New international airport starts operation in 2023

The new Luanda Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport will start operating at the end of this year (2023), said on Monday the President of the Republic, João Lourenço.

The new international airport takes an area of 1,324 hectares and will have capacity for 15 million passengers and a volume of goods of 50,000 tons per year.

Speaking to journalists at the end of visit to the international airport, the Head of State expressed his satisfaction with the physical progress of the works.

“We will have the airport by the end of the year. We will unveil it”, he said, without giving an exact date.

During the visit, João Lourenço met with members of the Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC), institution in charge of the construction work.

President Lourenço said that until the inauguration date, the airport will be in conditions to serve passengers.

João Lourenço reiterated that, in order to satisfy the movement of passengers, taking into account the potential of the new airport, negotiations are underway with the American aircraft manufacturer Boeing, for the acquisition of new aircraft.

“We are negotiating with Boeing. It is a negotiation that has been going on for some time and we want to believe that this time, yes, we will end up negotiating a new package of Boeing airplanes for long haul”, he said.

During the guided tour, accompanied by members of the government, João Lourenço inspected the air navigation and airport management building, the regional and integrated control center, the passenger terminal, the boarding area, the commercial, check-in, vip, screening, baggage collection, domestic and regional landing areas, among others.

The new airport has two double runways and is sized to receive, among others, B747 and A380 aircraft, currently the largest commercial aircraft.

The southern runway, the airport’s largest, is 4,000 meters long and 60 meters wide, so, in June 2022 it received the first experimental flight of a Boeing 777 aircraft from the Angolan airline TAAG.

President João Lourenço last visited the works of the new airport in December 2022.

The Council of Ministers of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP) is meeting on Monday in Luanda to consider the role of seas and oceans in the international projection and economic cooperation in the organization.

The XVI extraordinary meeting is focused on cooperation among the members of the community and foresees the revision of the internal staff regulations (ISR).

Speaking at the event, the outgoing chairperson of the Council of Ministers of the CPLP, Téte António, highlighted the growth of the organization in terms of strategic cooperation plans and the expansion of community actions in various areas.

Téte António also pointed out that there are structural reforms to be made that pass through dialogue between the member states of the community.

The minister reiterated that the agenda of the Angolan presidency elected economic cooperation as a priority for action, in order to adapt the statute of the CPLP to this new paradigm.

According to Téte António, the statute was revised to regulate the membership and improve cooperation with associated observers.

Angola took over the rotating presidency of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) during the organization’s 13th Conference of Heads of State and Government, held in Luanda in 2021.

Angola defends as an agenda, among other projects, the strengthening of mobility among member states and a special attention to the economic sector.

President visits new Luanda airport

Angolan President, João Lourenço, on Monday made a field visit to the new Luanda international airport to assess the execution level of the work being carried out.

The new airport, named after the first president of Angola, Dr. António Agostinho Neto, has already received final certification of the project and is expected to become fully operational in December2023.

The airport is budgeted at 1.4 billion US dollars.

ANGOP has learnt that the president’s programme includes visits to the air navigation and airport management building, the regional and integrated control centre, passenger terminal, lounge, commercial areas, check-in and others.

Luanda International Airport “Dr. António Agostinho Neto”, covers an area of 1,324 hectares with capacity to receive 15 million passengers and a volume of goods of 50,000 tons per year.

The infrastructure has two double runways able to receive aircraft such as the B747 and A380 – currently the largest commercial aircraft, and also includes construction of an airport city that will cover a 75 square kilometers area.

The southern runway, which is the airport’s longest side, is 4000 metres long and 60 meters wide, where the first experimental flight was carried out, in June, 2022, with a Boeing 777 aircraft of the Angolan airline TAAG.

The construction works are being carried out by Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC).

President Lourenço’s last visit to the facilities to the airport was in December 2022.

According to a note released to the press, TAAG aircraft will now leave Luanda for Lisbon at 12:40 pm and 11:45 pm.

“Portugal is one of the preferred destinations and the gateway to Europe for various passengers, including tourists, families and businesses from Angola, Africa and South America”, reads the note.

However, Angola is positioned as an important hub for receiving and redirecting air traffic from Portugal to the various TAAG destinations in the southern hemisphere.
