OraSure’s ORAcollect RNA device included in EUA for COVID-19 test

September 24, 2020  –  OraSure Technologies, Inc. (Bethlehem, PA) announced that its ORAcollect RNA (OR-100) saliva collection device has been included in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) granted to Quadrant Biosciences Inc. for a COVID-19 laboratory test.

Under the EUA, the OR-100 device can be used to collect saliva samples from individuals suspected of COVID-19 infection by a healthcare professional.

This is the sixth EUA to include a collection device from the company’s DNA Genotek subsidiary and the first to exclusively utilize a saliva collection method.

Quadrant’s Clarifi COVID-19 Test Kit, developed in partnership with SUNY Upstate Medical University, leverages the company’s established expertise in RNA-based diagnostics.

The non-invasive, and easy to administer, saliva swab test determines the presence or absence of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA, and will be immediately available for use by high-complexity clinical laboratories serving patients through physicians’ offices, urgent care clinics and hospitals.
