SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fapon Biotech is a global leader in the In-vitro Diagnostics (IVD) industry, with a steadfast commitment to advancing global health by providing innovative diagnostic solutions. As the World Health Organization (WHO) declared monkeypox outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) on Aug 14, Fapon Biotech reaffirms its commitment by providing antigen diagnostic products addressing this emerging threat.
Since the outbreak of monkeypox in 2022, Fapon Biotech has been continuously developing and upgrading its raw materials solutions for monkeypox antigen rapid tests. Fapon’s products for monkeypox detection have high sensitivity, high specificity, and demonstrate no cross-reactivity with non-OPXVs such as the varicella-zoster virus. Fapon Biotech’s solutions are developed to offer more effective and accessible testing options, particularly for low- and middle-income countries and regions, thereby facilitating rapid diagnosis in such areas.
In 2023, the increased global circulation of the monkeypox virus heightened the demand for diagnostics, altogether demonstrating a clear need for simplified, automated, and accessible assay that are available outside laboratories. In response, to enhance access to quality-assured, accurate, and accessible monkeypox diagnostics, WHO specified a target product profile designed for decentralized use, including in community settings. This measure has encouraged more IVD companies to develop POCT products, that are more convenient and accessible for screening and diagnosis in rural environments and areas with limited healthcare resources.
In the ongoing battle against the spread of monkeypox, Fapon Biotech stands committed to leveraging its expertise to fight this global public health issue and assist its global partners in the development of monkeypox diagnostic rapid tests.
