    • Chembio’s DPP SARS-CoV-2 Antigen tests for delivery during 2021 were ordered by Bio-Manguinhos to support an urgent need of the Brazilian Ministry of Health to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
    • The DPP SARS-CoV-2 Antigen test, which uses a nasal swab to detect the antigen, uses a minimally invasive technique to detect COVID-19 infection in only 20 minutes.
    • Chembio’s supply chain, staffing, liquidity, and other matters outside Chembio’s control may prevent CEMI from delivering all the tests on the purchase order.
    • A small drop of blood from the fingertip or alternative samples allows CEMI to provide high-quality, rapid testing results in 15 to 20 minutes.
    • A single patient sample can produce up to eight test results using CEMI’s DPP platform, providing more clinical value than other rapid tests.
