Acutis Diagnostics Fosters Improved Healthcare Treatment Decisions with Advanced Gene Sequencing Technologies

HICKSVILLE, N.Y., June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Acutis Diagnostics, a New York State laboratory, is taking on urgent healthcare issues through advancing medical testing capabilities.

Among its most important projects is developing advanced gene sequencing technologies that can be used in the clinic. This work was featured recently in a Long Island Press article.

The company has a 40,000-square-foot facility in Hicksville with more than 200 professional employees. It was launched as a clinical diagnostic laboratory in a 1,000-square-foot start-up space in Farmingdale.

Acutis also offers molecular testing with a focus on infectious diseases, which enabled it to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has performed 2.5 million COVID tests over the past two years. 

Acutis provides advanced polymerase chain reaction-based (PCR) tests for infectious diseases that may be misdiagnosed with traditional testing, such as urinary tract infections.
