We are honored to add a high performing, molecular diagnostic to our existing testing solutions.” OmeCare Chief of Innovation, Dr Michael Nova, MD, PhD, goes on to add, “rRT-PCR is the gold standard for detecting COVID-19, and OmeCare employs the most advanced and cost-effective microfluidic technologies that increase sensitivity, decrease turnaround times, and will also simultaneously assay for additional respiratory viruses. We are delighted to be working in partnership with Vivera as our exclusive distributor.” The Vivera Pharmaceuticals + OmeCare rRT-PCR specimen collection kits are available for use by medical providers.
