The three partners consolidated their expertise on developing a highly-sensitive test capable of detecting SARS-CoV-2 on site, in less than 15 minutes. The environmental test kit is now available, while the human diagnostic kit is in its final validation phase and scheduled for release in the upcoming weeks.
Bertin Technologies, a subsidiary of CNIM, C4Diagnostics, a biotechnology company specialising in innovative in vitro testing for infectious diseases, and Enalees, a leader in molecular point-of-care diagnostics of infectious diseases in animals, entered into a partnership to develop rapid field tests for detecting Covid-19 in less than 15 minutes.
