Co-Diagnostics, Inc. to Host Booth at Medlab Africa in Cape Town on Oct 22-24, 2024
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq-CM: CODX) (the "Company" or "Co-Dx"), a molecular diagnostics company with a unique, patented platform for the development of molecular diagnostic tests, announced today that Co-Diagnostics will be hosting a booth at Africa Health/Medlab Africa in Cape Town, South Africa on October 22-24, 2024.
The conference website describes it as the largest gathering of healthcare companies, technology, products and services in the sub-Saharan region, catering to an audience of distributors, government representatives, laboratory executives, and purchasing/procurement managers from the South African Development Community region and around the world, who attend to meet with world-class suppliers and manufacturers.
Co-Dx believes that the trade show will contribute valuable insight into markets that are anticipated to play an important role in the Company's future. In a report issued in September 2023, the WHO estimated that 2.5 million people contracted tuberculosis (TB) in the African Region in 2021, while noting that a large gap also remains between estimated TB cases and those identified. Co-Dx has several infectious disease tests in varying stages of development on the Company's upcoming Co-Dx™ PCR at-home and point-of-care platform*, including a test for TB.
Additionally, in an update on its Logix Smart® Mpox (2-Gene) RUO test last month, the Company reported that an in silico analysis shows that the test should retain full reactivity against known mpox strains. This followed the respective declarations in August by the Africa CDC and WHO of mpox (formerly monkeypox) as a public health emergency of continental security (PHECS) and a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC).
More information about the conference can be found here. Parties interested in learning more about the Company's diagnostic products are invited to visit Booth H1/B1.
*The Co-Dx PCR platform (including the Co-Dx PCR Home™, Co-Dx PCR Pro™, mobile app, and all associated tests and software) is subject to review by the FDA and/or other regulatory bodies and is not available for sale. The Co-Dx PCR Pro instrument and Co-Dx COVID-19 Test are currently under review by the FDA.
