Applied DNA Launches Mpox Clade I and Clade II Testing Service
Applied DNA Sciences (NASDAQ:APDN) has announced the expansion of its clinical testing services for Mpox (formerly monkeypox) to include both Clade I and Clade II detection. This launch follows interactions with regulatory bodies, including the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) and the FDA. The company's subsidiary, Applied DNA Clinical Labs (ADCL), will provide the testing service from its CLEP/CLIA molecular diagnostics laboratory in Stony Brook, N.Y.
The Linea™ Mpox Virus 1.0 Assay was previously approved for Clade II detection by NYSDOH in September 2022. In August 2024, ADCL validated the assay's ability to detect Clade I, which is the subject of the WHO's recent public health emergency declaration. This expanded testing service aims to support New York and other states in responding to the growing mpox threat by improving testing accessibility.

Insights
The launch of Applied DNA's expanded mpox testing service is a significant development in the field of infectious disease diagnostics. The ability to detect both Clade I and Clade II of the mpox virus enhances the diagnostic capabilities for healthcare providers. This is particularly important given the WHO's recent declaration of a public health emergency concerning Clade I.
The regulatory interactions with NYSDOH and FDA suggest a thorough validation process, which adds credibility to the test. However, it's important to note that while NYSDOH-approved, the test is not yet FDA-cleared. This could potentially limit its widespread adoption outside New York State in the short term.
From an investor's perspective, this expansion could position Applied DNA favorably in the infectious disease testing market, potentially leading to increased revenue streams. However, the actual impact will depend on the prevalence of mpox cases and the demand for such testing services.
Applied DNA's strategic move to expand its mpox testing capabilities comes at a crucial time in the infectious disease diagnostics market. With the WHO's recent declaration, there's likely to be increased demand for comprehensive mpox testing, potentially driving growth for Applied DNA.
The company's first-mover advantage in offering testing for both Clade I and II could give it a competitive edge. However, investors should be aware that the market size for mpox testing remains uncertain and could fluctuate based on outbreak patterns.
The company's ability to rapidly adapt its existing assay to detect a new clade demonstrates its technological agility, which could be valuable for future product developments. This could enhance Applied DNA's appeal to investors looking for companies with flexible and responsive R&D capabilities in the biotech sector.
