The rapid tests are for professional use only and results can be had within 2 to 10 minutes.
The test detects the presence of COVID-19 in human blood, serum, or plasma and has been validated in a clinical trial.
Atyu Bioscience is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical research company based out of Englewood, Colorado and are confident the new test kits will be ready for use in a matter of days.
