Pipeline

We’re conditioning several initiatives that provide innovative, cost-effective solutions to existing, large-scale problems – our current pipeline includes:

• in-vitro diagnostics: a rapid test product line using test strips capable of providing results for various analytes at roughly the same speed as diabetic strips using a surface chemistry-based approach for immuno-enzymatic reactions that will be applicable for dozens of medical conditions, moving testing from the lab to the point of care
• in-vitro cytology: high-quality tests that use simple, innovative strategies that can compete with the world’s best technologies at a fraction of the price, making the highest quality tests available to cost-conscious health care systems and populations worldwide.
