This new product offer complements other Covid-19 serology tests marketed by Eurobio Scientific, which are intended for biology laboratories and require suitable equipment to perform serial analyzes.
Finally, these different ranges of serology products are in addition to the molecular biology tests to detect the specific presence of the virus, that are already on the market, .
For Jean-Michel CARLE, President and CEO of Eurobio Scientific, "After the launch of our molecular biology offers and our automated serology offer, this marketing agreement with NG Biotech perfectly complements the diagnostic arsenal that we can make available to our customers to deal with the COVID-19 crisis. Eurobio Scientific is proud to enable the rapid commercialization of a solution developed in France. "
