RADx #6114
Fluidigm Corporation
Letter Contract number: 75N92020C00009
Performance Work Statement
PWS Title: Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) Program: Tech Project # 6114 Fluidigm – Advanta Dx SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay for Saliva |
1.0 Background
Fluidigm has developed a diagnostic molecular test for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva specimens under FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). The Advanta™ Dx SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay is a qPCR-based test that, by taking advantage of Fluidigm’s proprietary microfluidics technology and Juno™ and Biomark™ HD systems, enables high throughput and scalable testing of saliva samples from patients suspected of COVID-19 (coronavirus) infection. Featuring extraction-free sample processing, a modular workflow and large batch-sample size, the Advanta Dx SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay aims to meet the RADx goal of enhance laboratory SARS-CoV-2 testing capacity.
Fluidigm’s BioMark HD microfluidics platform addresses the massive demand for SARS-CoV-2PCR testing- combining speed, minimal cost, and massive throughput unparalleled in the industry. Further advantages include flexibility to rapidly integrate new mutational markers or increase panel size to include additional infectious agents. This platform works with all clinical sample types.
Our solution leverages Advanta™ Dx SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay submitted for an EUA, and two assays under development that can change the landscape for detection. This assay allows for up to 6000 samples per day on a single system. Additional assays address different needs in testing, throughput, specificity and sensitivity.
Our technology offers significant advantages overcoming many supply chain barriers and provides a robust platform for scale up of testing for SARS-CoV-2.
Fluidigm has been able to detect both N1 and N2 SARS-CoV-2 targets across all samples provided by Washington University, including the lowest dilution (10 cp/ul). Highlights from that work are the detection of:
•10 copies in the reaction using 4 ul of saliva sample
•1.x copies in the reaction using 1 ul of saliva sample
•Across all dilution buffer and RNase inhibitor conditions
Of the amplification chemistries tested, optimum results were obtained from the FLDM 1-Step
RT-PCR Master Mix, 2.5 hour 1-step RT-PCR protocol.
2.0 Objectives
The baseline technology provided in Fluidigm’s EUA filing allows for performing 6000 tests per day on each Biomark HD system and Fluidigm currently has the ability to manufacture approximately 50,000 tests per day. The rate limiting component is the Integrated Fluidic Circuit (IFC), which is the microfluidic chip that is required for running the assay. The two types of IFCs described herein are the 192.24 IFC which is used in the current Advanta™ Dx SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay under EUA, and cartridge-based solution IFC which is the basis for a simplified workflow. Each 192.24 IFC has the capacity to run 192 tests and each cartridge-based solution IFC has the capacity to run 96 tests. This project has

two major deliverables: 1) to increase manufacturing capacity of IFCs and to develop and 2) to manufacture a cartridge-based solution that will simplify the workflow and increase the likelihood of sales and deployment of the COVID tests to a broader customer base.
The cartridge-based solution incorporates two independent reactions necessary to process the sample into the same chip to simplify the overall workflow. Compared to the 192.24 IFC approach, each individual sample in the cartridge-based solution increases the number of reaction chambers in the microfluidic chip. Thus, the overall sample capacity of the chip is reduced as there is more chemistry being performed on chip. As a result, switching to the production of the cartridge will result in a simplified workflow but lower volume of tests because it has half the sample capacity of the 192.24 IFC.
The cartridge-based solution requires the redevelopment of the assay to include on IFC Reverse Transcription and a solid-phase bead-based capture of the target nucleic acid sequences. This solid-phase bead-based capture is a novel addition which is a departure from the EUA for the Advanta Dx SARS-CoV-2 assay. Therefore, the full development of the cartridge-based assay will require a new clinical study and EUA submission.
The limiting factor to Fluidigm provided testing is the manufacture of the IFCs. This is because the Fluidigm test does not require extraction, and only nano-liters of reagents are used for each PCR reaction. Scale up for IFC production will occur in Fluidigm’s Singapore facility by first maximizing production in the existing manufacturing line which will increase production capacity to 12,000 IFCs per month from the current 7,000 per month. Simultaneously, Fluidigm will add two additional manufacturing lines to the Singapore facility which will ultimately provide manufacturing capacity of 36,000 IFCs per month. The investment into the capital equipment to construct additional manufacturing lines and expand the production of the IFCs can be leveraged to produce the cartridge-based solution. The cartridge-based solution requires a new process and molds but uses the existing equipment.
3.0 Scope
Fluidigm will deploy a complete testing solution using a saliva based, extraction free, viral detection assay for broad distribution. This section describes the scope of work for RADx 6114.
Currently Fluidigm has the capability to deliver testing capacity of approximately 50,000 tests/day. The cartridge-based solution will deliver testing capacity of up to 115,200 tests/day by Q3 2021.
The Contractor shall accomplish the following milestones in the stages outlined below:
•Stage 1: Test Verification
◦Deliver 1plex tests to Verification Core at Emory University
◦Provide final report from the Verification Core
•Stage 2: Scale Up
◦Increase production capacity of Line 1 with 24/7 operation
•Stage 3: Scale Up and Facility Construction
