David Budd, Chief Executive Officer of genedrive plc, said: "The development teams at genedrive and at Cytiva have worked tirelessly over the past 2 months to develop our unique product that has the potential to streamline lab testing, improve quality, and ultimately allow more people to be tested. CE marking was achieved with performance studies and validations that will also support regulatory applications in other jurisdictions, such as Emergency Use Authorisation with the USA FDA and Emergency Use Assessment and Listing with the WHO. The temperature stable nature of the Genedrive® 96 SARS-CoV-2 kit means we have the potential to easily access these global markets, which are in urgent need of testing efficiency and volume."
