[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] MikobioMed announced on the 7th that it will supply COVID-19 antibody test kits worth 2.2 billion KRW to domestic medical institutions and companies.


MikobioMed added that it plans to first supply antibody test kits worth 1.6 billion KRW domestically, followed by an additional supply worth 600 million KRW.


The diagnostic kit supplied for professional use allows individuals to determine their COVID-19 infection history and antibody presence through blood samples collected from the fingertip, similar to a blood glucose meter, showing sensitivity over 90% and specificity over 99%.



A company representative stated, "Recently, nationwide antibody testing has been discussed as part of 'scientific quarantine.' Through this, we will actively lead efforts to enable more precise quarantine policies by focusing diagnostic and treatment capabilities on regions and age groups with relatively fewer antibody carriers."
