After seeing the urgent need in early March for coronavirus testing, the company quickly pivoted—and scaled up massively—to roll-out an oral-fluid-swab test for COVID-19. The startup is currently operational within a CLIA-certified lab and working to increase available testing, which can be self administered to ease pressure on hospitals and clinics.
