Please note that we have a new site: LifeScienceHistory.com, "Where history is made daily" under development and
delayed by COVID-19, to be launched in 2023 replacing New YorkLifeScience.com. Regrettably, we are working with reduced
staffing and the current industry directory is no longer being maintained, but will be replaced with a new and improved
directory upon the launch of the new site. We apologize for the inconvenience.

| | Company Description | Chembio Diagnostics develops and manufactures rapid tests to aid in the detection of infectious diseases including HIV and Tuberculosis (TB). Using lateral flow technology, these rapid tests easily provide users with quick and cost-effective information simply by applying sample material to a test strip that has been treated with specific agents in order to help detect the presence of the infectious disease or antibodies to such disease in that sample.
For HIV , Chembio Diagnostics has developed rapid tests in two formats, Sure Check ™ HIV and HIV Stat-Pak, which are easy-to-perform, single-use diagnostic tests for rapid, visual detection of antibodies to the HIV virus, on a strip. This format provides a test that is simple (requires neither electricity nor expensive equipment for test execution or reading, nor skilled personnel for test interpretation), rapid (turn around time less than 15 minutes), safe (minimizes handling of potentially infected specimens), non-invasive (requires 5 ul of serum or whole blood easily obtained with a finger prick), stable (can keep at least 18 months without refrigeration) and highly reproducible. | |
