Recent Developments in the Market

  • In February 2026, to accelerate the development and deployment of rapid diagnostic technologies for public health emergencies, Cepheid was selected as one of four national collaborators by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The company had previously demonstrated its ability to minimize development timelines without compromising accuracy or quality during the COVID-19 pandemic by offering the first point-of-care PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 in the U.S.
  • In July 2025, an exclusive U.S. distribution agreement was announced between PHASE Scientific and Lumos Diagnostics for FebriDx®, a rapid point-of-care (POC) test. The product will utilize a single drop of blood for the diagnosis of bacterial acute respiratory infection and differentiate it from non-bacterial etiology within 10 minutes.
