We are partnering with Sherlock Biosciences to develop the Sherlock Molecular COVID-19 + Flu A + B Test, a home-use, molecular test designed to detect and differentiate SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and influenza B viruses. The device is hand-held, single-use, battery-operated, and expected to provide results in 15 minutes from nasal swab samples. The Sherlock COVID-19 + Flu A + B Test is also suitable for use in remote and resource limited healthcare settings. The ability to distinguish between the pathogens causing respiratory infections, which often present with similar symptoms, is crucial for making more informed decisions.

Sherlock is excited that the FDA recently approved an at-home test for syphilis that can provide initial results in just 15-minutes. Syphilis has been surging in recent years with the number of cases rising 80% between 2018 and 2022 alone. There has also been an alarming rise in the number of infants born with syphilis. Easier, more accessible testing can help #sexualhealth #talktesttreat

Let’s work together to create a more informed and compassionate community. #HealthAwareness #STI #SherlockBiosciences Read More: https://bit.ly/3MlU1TN
