“I am pleased to have this stage of the test development process behind us and look forward to getting into a lab and testing these COVID-19 markers on our Target cartridge,” stated Dr. David Stark, President of Parallax Diagnostics, Inc. Dr. Stark continued, “We understand that there is an immediate need for COVID-19 screen tests in the face of this historic pandemic, and believe that this proprietary test would be available at the earliest by summer.  As we stated in an earlier communication, our COVID-19 test strategy included proprietary development of a COVID-19 rapid screen test on our patented and FDA approved test platform, or in conjunction with the acquisition or licensing of an existing rapid test to accelerate our delivery of the much needed COVID-19 test.”

We are positioning our proprietary Target Analyzer along multiple paths in our pursuit of testing solutions for COVID-19 and we are currently negotiating with diagnostic firms in and outside of the U.S.”
