HIV-syphilis assay, 1/14
January 2014—Chembio Diagnostics received its first purchase order for its DPP HIV-Syphilis Assay from its distributor in Mexico. The DPP HIV-Syphilis Assay is based on the company’s patented Dual Path Platform (DPP), a point-of-care testing platform that is suited to multiplexing and that adds a syphilis biomarker to the company’s FDA-approved DPP HIV 1/2 test. The addition of this marker has resulted in a fingerstick whole blood test that can help reduce the transmission of HIV and syphilis from mother to child.
