" The bigger hurdle , at least for some firms is simply cost. Saliva Diagnostics Systems SDS, a small firm
based in Vancouver, WA, has three rapid tests it would like to launch in the United States. But without a
backer, that will prove rough , says Paul Slowey, PhD, chief operating officer and vice president of SDS.
" People want these kinds of tests very badly right now." says Slowey. That's why the new rapid HIV tests
will eventually find their way not only into the the US market, but into home-test kits as well, Slowey adds..."
It's simple...Consumers want to know!
FWIW, I am hearing from nursing homes, schools, public health clinics and private practitioners. They cite the sore need for a simple, inexpensive, fast, convenient and disposable test for use in POC areas. I have been hearing this for many years. I believe the Trinity test fits the requirements of these users to a T.
MGT: GO FOR IT!!!! |
