With one-in-five American donors positive for HIV or hepatitis, tissue and eye banks need to know their status as soon as possible. Miriad rapid tests HIV-1/2, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis antibodies in cadaver blood and provide instant, easy-to-read results.
RAPID RESULTS YOU CAN BANK ON
Tissue and eye banks are using Miriad as part of their initial donor screening, achieving a relative discard reduction of 40%. With Miriad, tissue and eye banks add another layer of information to their procurement process and reduce:
Transportation, storage, and disposal costs lost on ineligible tissue
Risks to technicians working with sharps
Stress on donor families

TECHNOLOGY
Miriad tests use MedMira’s patented Rapid Vertical Flow Technology, allowing for the analysis of whole blood specimens in addition to serum and plasma. Additionally, research demonstrates that MedMira’s rapid vertical testing closely matches the performance of much more complicated enzyme immunoassay tests. This technology has shown 98% concordance with more complex and traditional lab-based assays when testing research specimens in the laboratory.
