DxNA llc announced today the finalizing of an equity investment of $2.5 million by an individual investor. Terms of the investment were not disclosed. The investment dollars will be used to complete the regulatory processes for the FDA 510(k) clearance of a Valley Fever (Coccidioidomycosis) assay on the GeneSTAT® system. The funding will also be used to initiate the regulatory processes for FDA 510(K) clearance and EEA CE-marking of a next-generation Staphylococcus Diagnostic Test the company calls its MRSA+ Assay.
“This funding is allowing us to press forward on the path we have been mapping out since we acquired the rights to both of these assays. This is an exciting time for DxNA, bringing us closer to entering the US and EU diagnostic markets with what we feel are ground breaking and distinguishing products.” says David Taus, CEO of DxNA, llc.
DxNA is a privately held company located in St. George Utah. It is a molecular diagnostics company that develops and distributes portable, fully-integrated systems and tests for infectious disease in the medical, agricultural, food safety, and biosecurity markets.

DxNA’s patented GeneSTAT® portable Real Time PCR molecular diagnostic testing system will allow individuals with minimal training to conduct accurate real-time diagnostic testing in virtually any location including laboratories, clinics, physician offices, emergency rooms or field settings.

The system has previously been validated for a CE-mark, which was obtained in 2011.
