REUTERS/Daniele MascoloMILAN: Italy's medical diagnostic group Diasorin said on Tuesday it aims to launch a new serological test to detect antibodies in patients infected with the new coronavirus by the end of April.
Diasorin said it had completed its studies and was working to obtain the EU's CE mark scheme and authorisation from the US Food and Drug Administration by the end of this month.Several academic laboratories and medical companies are rushing to produce these blood tests, which can quickly identify disease-fighting antibodies in people who have already been infected.
"The product has been designed to respond to the need to identify people in the population who have already been infected with the virus, where diagnosis has not been performed with a swab and a molecular diagnostic test," Diasorin said in a statement.
