FDA has cleared a Luminex 510(k) for the Aries MRSA Assay, a real-time, polymerase chain reaction-based, in vitro diagnostic test for detecting methicillin-resistant *Staphylococcus aureus* (MRSA) DNA from nasal swabs in patients at risk for nasal colonization. The MRSA assay joins the company’s Aries *C. difficile* Assay on the same testing platform. The Aries system features six FDA-cleared assays, and it has the ability to run laboratory-developed tests.
