El Instituto de Salud Pública de Chile (“ISP”)

The Chilean government require medical testing devices to receive ISP Approval before they can be sold in Chile. Vazyme Biotechnology, ViraxClear partners, are on the list of ISP Approved factories, allowing ViraxClear tests to be imported and sold nationally.

Vazyme Biotech is a highly reputable producer of enzymes and antibodies with products covering clinical diagnosis, molecular diagnostics, high-throughput sequencing and life science research, as well as RNA sequencing. Vazyme Biotech owns a dedicated 8000 m2 R&D site and have established the Biotechnology Industry Research Institute, which is comprised of a team of nearly 100 scientists.

The Test Kits are intended for the qualitative detection of IgG and IgM antibodies against 2019 Novel Coronavirus, produced by the immune system after virus infection. IgM is the earliest antibody that appears upon the first immune response, with detection indicating an early stage infection. IgG is produced later and lasts a long time in the body, indicating a prior infection. The combination of the two markers offers an insight into what stage the virus is has reached.
