About the Team: 

Llusern Scientific (previously 123USW), is a medtech company formed in 2020, specialising in rapid molecular diagnostic tests. Llusern won seed funding from the Longitude Prize on AMR in 2016 for their Lodestar DX molecular testing platform. This is a molecular diagnostic test for UTIs that uses loop-mediated isothermal application (LAMP) technology to detect uropathogens. Using a LAMP reaction reader, a sampling probe and UTI target-specific panel, the test can detect six uropathogens within 37 minutes. This will provide information allowing tailored treatment decisions and avoiding unnecessary and inappropriate use of broad spectrum antibiotics.
