The Chinese have been making them and supplying them for years so they were already well geared up and probably had all the right connections too in our various Govt purchasing and testing depth.
'Lateral flow assays have a wide array of applications and can test a variety of samples like urine, blood, saliva, sweat, serum, and other fluids. They are currently used by clinical laboratories, hospitals, and physicians for quick and accurate tests for specific target molecules and gene expression. Other uses for lateral flow assays are food and environmental safety and veterinary medicine for chemicals such as diseases and toxins. LFTs are also commonly used for disease identification such as ebola, but the most common LFT is the home pregnancy test.'
Afraid once business is lost to Chinese manufacturers/suppliers its very hard to home base it again.
