Sudabelt Medical is happy to announce that our Partners Abbot have successfully developed and secured approval for a portable Covid-19 antigen test kit that can provide results in as little as 15 minutes in the US Market. We are all witnesses to the global pandemic that has ravaged the world over and with the amount of deaths recorded in the US as a result of the corona virus, this is a welcome development that will benefit not just the US but the world. Soon we may have access to this Covid-19 test in Nigeria.

This portable test kit; BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 Ag Card has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration under its Emergency Use Authorization and will retail for as little as 5$ which is approximately less than ₦2500 (Depending on our exchange rate). The test kit requires no added instrumentation and can be conducted without the now infamous invasive nasal swab which we are sure will be welcome development to the general public.

This will be the sixth test that Abbot is launching in the US to help tackle the corona virus in addition to the antibody tests that are conducted on its ARCHITECT i1000SR and i2000SR both of which we distribute in Nigeria. Abbot is also developing an app; NAVICA for both IOS and android mobile users to be able to display their results on entrance into public gatherings.
