Biomerica has also expanded its provisional patent applications to include new technology that is being validated to simplify blood sample collection for its high throughput ELISA test.  The company expects to launch its ELISA high-volume laboratory version serology test with high accuracy and low cross-reactivity in accordance with the newly released EUA guidance. About Serology Tests
Biomerica’s rapid-test technology is a serology test. Serology tests look for the presence of antibodies, which are specific proteins made in response to infections. The antibodies detected by serology tests indicate that a person has had an immune response to the novel Corona Virus (SARS CoV-2), whether symptoms developed from infection or the infection was asymptomatic.Zackary Irani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The devastating effects on the lives of people affected by COVID-19 continues to be problematic.  Our existing point of care test has been well accepted in international markets and we are now expanding sales distribution to other countries.  Our launch of these COVID-19 serology tests is by no means a shift in the Company’s stated strategy of growing both our colorectal disease detection product, finalizing clinical trials and gaining FDA approval for our HP Detect™ H. Pylori test and our InFoods® IBS therapy product.” About Biomerica (NASDAQ: BMRA)
