Paris, June 9, 2020 –8:00 am

Eurobio Scientific (FR0013240934, ALERS, eligible PEA-PME), a leading French group in the field of specialty in vitro medical diagnostics, announces today the validation of two new serology tests by the French CNR, and provides an update on its activity linked to the Covid-19 epidemic.

Wantaï range ELISA serological test validated by CNR

Eurobio Scientific has completed its COVID-19 serology test offer with the exclusive distribution for France and Switzerland of a CE marked ELISA¹ test within its Wantaï range, of which it already markets serological tests for hepatitis E. This test is registered on the new list of reimbursed tests, after validation by the French National Reference Center (CNR).

The Wantaï range SARS CoV-2 AB (total antibodies) ELISA test detects at once the possible presence of antibodies of all isotypes, IgA, IgG and IgM, directed against the Covid-19 virus.

The ELISA technique, very common in biology laboratories, particularly in hospitals, can easily be implemented on any instrument dedicated to this technique.

SNIBE range automated serological test validated by CNR

The new list of tests validated by the CNR also includes the CE marked MagLumi CLIA test from Eurobio Scientific's SNIBE range, which was announced on March 31, 2020.

This range includes the automated SARS Cov-2 IgG CLIA test. It completes the SNIBE range of more than 160 parameters for the MagLumi automate, of which Eurobio Scientific has exclusive distribution for France, England and Ireland, as well as non-exclusive distribution for BENELUX. This automate can process 40 to 280 samples per hour with 9 to 25 parameters online.

Covid-19 offer now among the most comprehensive in France

With these new ranges, Eurobio Scientific now offers its customers the Covid-19 range of tests which is among the most extensive in France. It consists of:

• PCR tests for the detection of the SARS CoV-2 virus
  • ALLPLEX Coronavirus test from the Seegene range (Seegene equipment)
  • Proprietary test EBX 041 SARS CoV-2, under Institut Pasteur license manufactured in France in Eurobio Scientific’s production unit of Les Ulis (91) (generic PCR equipment)
