[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] SD Biosensor announced that it has completed the construction of the 'STANDARD M10' production plant in Jeungpyeong-gun, Chungbuk Province, and held a completion ceremony on the 25th.

In April of this year, SD Biosensor signed an investment agreement with Jeungpyeong-gun and proceeded with building a factory in the Jeungpyeong Industrial Complex by investing approximately 188 billion KRW to produce M10 cartridge products.

The Jeungpyeong plant is the largest SD Biosensor factory to date, capable of producing up to 55 million M10 cartridges annually, and is scheduled to begin full-scale production starting November this year.

The Jeungpyeong plant was established on a site area of 27,815㎡ with four floors, and has obtained not only Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification but also Environmental Management System (ISO 14001) certification.

The M10 is a next-generation diagnostic device that maintains the high accuracy of PCR testing while offering the convenience of rapid antigen testing. It reduces the testing time from several hours or even a day to within one hour, and enhances user convenience with a simple usage method.

The M10 offers a variety of test menus including COVID-19 testing, simultaneous testing for influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), tuberculosis, cervical cancer, and enteritis, all of which have received CE certification.

Lee Hyo-geun, CEO of SD Biosensor, said, "The M10 production line established at the Jeungpyeong plant is one of SD Biosensor's future growth engines," adding, "We plan to exclusively produce cartridges for detecting drug-resistant tuberculosis bacteria, cartridges for simultaneous detection of influenza and coronavirus, and cartridges for detecting infectious diseases at the Jeungpyeong plant going forward."
