NEW YORK and SYDNEY, Australia, March 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beroni Group (OTCQX: BNIGF; NSX: BTG) (“Beroni” or the “Company”), an international diversified biopharmaceutical enterprise focused on the research, development, innovation and commercialization of therapies and products for treatment of global diseases, today announces submission for an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its IgG/IgM antibody SARS-CoV-2 rapid test detection kit.
Jacky Zhang, Chairman and CEO of Beroni Group, said, “Our immediate priority is to help our healthcare infrastructure address this global health emergency. Our scientific team has quickly developed a SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM antibody detection kit to accurately detect this highly contagious virus with both symptomatic and asymptomatic candidates. This detection kit is fast, simple to use and yields results in 10 minutes with only fingertip blood or venous blood required. Getting tests to detect COVID-19 into the hospitals, clinics, urgent care and pharmacies as soon as possible is one of our highest priorities in fighting this expanding pandemic. With a 97% accuracy rate, we are confident that our test kit will help increase the extent and quality of testing in severely affected countries.”
The SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM antibody detection kit based on colloidal gold is a rapid single-use immunochromatographic test intended for the qualitative detection of IgG and IgM protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus in capillary “fingerstick” whole blood, plasma, and serum samples.
Beroni’s request for EUA is currently under review by the FDA. If the FDA concludes that the criteria for issuance of an EUA has been met, the company will commence manufacturing and shipment of test kits to customers.
