iFAST Diagnostics | 985 followers on LinkedIn. A Game-Changing, Low Cost, Rapid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test - Ensuring The Right Antibiotic On Time, Every Time. | iFAST is developing a game-changing, rapid antimicrobial susceptibility test, that will enable every patient with bacterial infections to receive the right antibiotic, on time, every time.

Currently, these tests take 48-72 hours, but iFAST&#39;s tests are 10x faster - giving full quantitative and qualitative results in under 3 hours from a positive blood culture or bacterial isolate.

The technology is cheaper and involve less tedious manual labour than current standard of care, which is based on technology from the mid-1900s!

A game-changing day for iFAST for two reasons - we have received Ethics Committee approval for our crucial UK clinical trial, to start in the New Year, and taken delivery of our first commercial design system! Everything on track for our big UK launch in Q2 2025.... watch this space for more exciting news on funding coming soon...

We are pleased to see that the WHO’s Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesushas specifically called for more rapid diagnostics technologies to help fight the scourge of AMR. This is exactly what iFAST will be bringing to the market next year – watch this space! https://lnkd.in/dsik5UPP

As the UN prepares to host the second High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) this week, highlighting the significance of this global health threat and the need to address solutions, iFast remains on track to launch in the UK in Q1 2025. Our game-changing innovation slashes the time needed to determine which antibiotics are effective, from 48 hours to just 3, without increasing test cost, thereby saving lives and reducing the spread of antimicrobial resistance. #medicaldiagnostics #innovation https://lnkd.in/e64smPvR

We are super-excited to announce the successful completion of our InnovateUK-funded Biomedical Catalyst project, in collaboration with UKHSA Porton Down and University of Southampton. The goals of the project included showing that we could extract Gram positive bacteria from positive blood cultures, and successfully perform our game-changing Antimicrobial Susceptibility test on them, all in under 3 hours. The project was delivered on time, on budget and met every deliverable and milestone, so massive thanks to everyone involved, especially Prof Mark Sutton, Lucy Bock and Rebecca Hodges from UKHSA, Prof Hywel Morgan and Katie Chamberlain from UoS and the whole team at iFAST. We can't wait for iFAST to be launched on the UK market in early 2025 - watch this space! Innovate UK ; University of Southampton ; Toby King

It would be true to say that people are dying every day because we are still using old-fashioned and slow methods to figure out which antibiotics will actually work - the process pictured (disk diffusion) takes two days but here at iFAST we have shown we can do the same thing at a similar cost in under 3 hours. Our test could help to save hundreds of thousands of lives per year. #medicaldiagnostics #medtech #medical #AMR #innovation #health https://lnkd.in/eA9FH-3j

We are delighted to report that iFast is recognised in the UK Government’s latest 5 year strategy for AMR. #innovation #medtech #medicaldiagnostics #AMR
