David Budd, Chief Executive Officer of Genedrive plc, says: "We have extensive experience working with the Cytiva team on assay development and manufacturing for our Point of Care HCV, AIHL, and military programmes. We are pleased to now apply that partnership in a high throughput manufacturing process, which we believe places us amongst a small group of companies that have the capability to produce simple assay solutions at significant scale. We are working very aggressively and plan to have product available in the next five weeks."
Gabriel Fernandez de Pierola, General Manager, Genomics and Diagnostics at Cytiva, says: "The spread of the SARS-COV-2 virus is driving an urgent need for extensive testing, particularly amongst patients and health workers. Critical to overcoming the pandemic is being able to produce high volumes of reliable tests which can be shipped easily on a global basis with minimal environmental impact. We hope our Lyo-Stable technology coupled with Genedrive's high throughput testing solution will help deliver technical solutions to address the current crisis."
