We are a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of transformative and innovative infectious disease test kits. We have developed a testing platform that produces centralized-laboratory-accurate molecular testing in a single-use and consumer-friendly test kit that is powered by two AA batteries and fits in the palm of a hand. We designed our test kits to provide accurate, reliable and on-the-spot molecular test results anywhere and at any time. We believe the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic has shown the infectious disease testing infrastructure in the United States was not designed to accommodate the immediate demands of infectious disease control on a mass-population scale. The testing options today are too expensive, inaccurate, or are inaccessible due to slow time to results or complexity. Mass-population infectious disease testing requires a testing platform that can provide accurate and clinically relevant results on-the-spot, be affordably mass produced, portable and easy-to-use anywhere. Our LUCIRA COVID-19 All-In-One Test Kit, or our COVID-19 test kit, is designed to provide a clinically relevant COVID-19 result within 30 minutes from sample collection. We believe, at scale, it will be an affordable, mass-population testing solution. Our initial focus is within respiratory diseases, starting with COVID-19 and influenza A and B virus indications.
