We can rapidly identify suspected COIVD-19 patients in the field to ensure a safe and timely referral to the emergency room when necessary. The Clip COVID Rapid Antigen Test, the most portable automated reader antigen test on the market, is approved for us through an FDA Emergency Use Authorization. The reader provides automated analysis and reduces user errors from misreading test results in the field.
