■Woorideul Pharmaceutical opens its own export path for 3 types of corona diagnostic kits with CE certification

Wooridul Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (CEO Kim Hye-yeon, Park Hee-deok) announced on the 19th that it has successfully acquired European CE certification for three corona 19 diagnostic kits as of January 8.

The diagnostic kits that obtained this certification are two types of molecular diagnosis (PCR) methods (‘fineGENE™ N-CoV RT-PCR’ and’fineGENE™ COVID-19 RT-PCR’) and one rapid antigen diagnosis kit (‘findUS ™ COVID-19 antigen’).

The three diagnostic kits that succeeded in CE certification this time were developed through technical cooperation with Access Bio, a US-based subsidiary, acquired by Wooridul Pharmaceutical in 2019. Accessbio obtained CE and US FDA emergency approval for molecular diagnosis method, antigen and antibody diagnosis method rapid kit last year.

Corona 19 diagnostic kit is largely divided into a molecular diagnostic method, an RT-PCR diagnostic kit, an immunological method, an antibody, and a rapid antigen diagnosis kit. Molecular diagnosis is useful for early diagnosis of infection, but it takes a long time to test, and the rapid antibody diagnosis kit provides high accuracy and rapid diagnosis at the end of the infection.

In addition, the rapid antigen diagnosis kit can determine whether the diagnosis is confirmed within 10 to 15 minutes, even for early patients who were difficult to diagnose with the existing antibody diagnosis rapid kit.

Wooridul Pharmaceutical said, “We expect to complete the certification of the remaining antibody diagnosis rapid kits as well as the European CE certification soon.” “We will focus our efforts on activating overseas business using the four corona 19 diagnostic kits as a cornerstone.”
