Leading Diagnostics Innovator Advances Accessibility Project for Multiplex Testing

AegirBio AB, a forefront leader in saliva-based diagnostics solutions, proudly announces the successful completion of an additional Milestone  in its participation in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx®) Tech program. AegirBio's phase 1 award, focusing on an accessibility project for multiplex testing, positions the company at the forefront of digital self-test platform development with potential milestone-based payments of up to USD 1.2 million.

The RADx® Tech program, comprising four milestones, is a strategic initiative by the NIH to accelerate the development and deployment of innovative diagnostic technologies. Today's announcement marks a significant stride forward for AegirBio in its mission to create a groundbreaking digital multiplex self-test platform that addresses the unique needs of individuals with disabilities.

In the specific accomplished Milestone, AegirBio's dedicated team has successfully developed magnetic-based tests for the simultaneous detection of three infectious viruses – SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B – all from a single saliva sample. This technological breakthrough underscores AegirBio's commitment to advancing diagnostics accessibility and providing vital assistance to diverse user groups.
