4th November 2010 -- Hai Kang Life Corporation Limited (HKLife) will showcase its patented field-assisted EFADchip® technology at the China Hi-Tech Fair (CHTF) 2010 to be held at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center from 16-21 November.
This event will mark the first-ever occasion that HKLife will be demonstrating its proprietary EFADchip technology to the public. “Hai Kang Life is looking forward to introducing its latest innovation, EFADchip technology at CHTF. And we are excited to be part of the Hong Kong Pavilion, launching, what has been 10 years of dedication and commitment, EFADchip at China’s No1 Technology event,” stated Professor Albert Yu, Chairman and CEO.
HKLife has pioneered the research and development of EFADchip into a user-friendly and affordable advanced molecular diagnostic system that can achieve rapid and accurate diagnosis at point-of-care. This ground-breaking novel proprietary technology incorporates unique combination of hybridization and detection technologies that overcomes limitations of current diagnostic technologies.
EFADchip technology delivers a practical, cost-effective solution to one of the most vexing problems of today’s global health – the lack of immediate and accurate diagnosis that allow primary care providers to prescribe correct and early treatment of conditions with improved outcomes.
“When a patient visits a health clinic or hospital with severe pain and high fever, determining the cause must be done quickly as possible. This is especially critical in testing for infectious diseases where the ability to rapidly detect the virus in a single physician visit can enable early correct treatment and limit the spread of disease,” said Dr Terence Lau, Chief Operating Officer.
“For this reason, we have developed EFADchip to simplify patient care models by performing rapid and timely diagnosis that can deliver results fast and at on-site visits.”
EFADchip has been created to be
- used anywhere
- scalable and multi-purpose
- inexpensive through its low-cost design
This new technology means that tests can be conducted cost-effectively at the point of care regardless of location, from cities to remote towns and villages, whilst bringing enormous benefits to global healthcare and disease surveillance.
“A serious major problem existed and we embarked on a journey to find a better way of identifying diseases at the root of the cause before it escalates to a catastrophe as we have witnessed in outbreaks of SARS and influenza. We now have a solution, EFADchip,” remarked Professor Yu.
Winning the 2009 Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Award for Product Differentiation Excellence Award for In-Vitro Diagnostics, HKLife anticipates wide applications of EFADchip technology to enable early detection and risk stratification for a variety of diseases and disorders.
HKLife’s award-winning EFADchip technology system will be on display and demonstrated at the Hong Kong Pavilion, Hall 9, Booth number 9S34a.
Date: 16-21 November Time: 09:00 – 17:00 Venue: Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center 3 Fu Hua Road, Fu tian District, Shenzhen
