[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jihwan] On the morning of the 13th, Bioneer’s stock price is showing strong performance. Amid the ongoing spread of COVID-19, the news of a new product launch next week capable of detecting the stealth Omicron variant, which was difficult to diagnose with existing products, is interpreted as having a positive effect on investor sentiment.


According to the Korea Exchange, as of 10:55 AM, Bioneer is trading at 63,600 KRW, up 11.58% (6,600 KRW) compared to the previous trading day.


On this day, Bioneer announced that it will complete the development of reagents capable of detecting both the Omicron and stealth Omicron variant viruses within next week.



Bioneer is currently selling reagents for detecting COVID-19 variant viruses Alpha, Delta, and Delta Plus, having obtained export approval. The company explained that since it independently develops and produces everything from raw materials to equipment and reagents, it can release products relatively quickly.
