Multiplex serologic point-of-care test for HIV and syphilis screening
Single-use, multiplex serologic rapid test detecting antibodies for HIV and syphilis from a small-volume blood sample with ~15-minute turnaround and compatibility with an optical reader for objective reporting.
Multiplex respiratory antigen test (SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A/B)
Rapid immunoassay that simultaneously detects SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A/B antigens from a single nasal swab in ~15–20 minutes for decentralized testing, with instrument-free visual read or reader-assisted reporting.
Instrument-free rapid antigen test for SARS-CoV-2 (commercial distribution)
Rapid antigen test for SARS-CoV-2 detection from nasal swabs providing ~20-minute results suitable for symptomatic and serial asymptomatic screening, distributed through third-party partnerships.
Portable optical micro-reader analyzer for lateral-flow tests
Battery-operated optical analyzer that reads lateral-flow rapid test results and reports objective electronic outputs in seconds to reduce visual-interpretation variability and support decentralized workflows.
At-home lateral-flow SARS-CoV-2 antigen self-test (OTC)
Over-the-counter self-test format that provides SARS-CoV-2 antigen results from a nasal swab in ~20 minutes for consumer use, including distribution via retail and e-commerce channels.
HIV antibody self-test (fingerstick lateral-flow)
Single-use in vitro diagnostic self-test detecting HIV antibodies from a small fingerstick whole blood sample for consumer/OTC use where authorized.
