The deal accounts for 17.56 percent of the company's total sales last year, it said.

Under this accord, Lab Genomics will supply its LabGun COVID-19 ExoFast RT-PCR Kit, which can diagnose the new coronavirus within an hour of testing using real-time polymerase chain reaction method.

Lab Genomics obtained the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the kit in April and won Europe’s Conformite Europeenne Mark-In Vitro Diagnostic (CE-IVD) certification later. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety also granted EUA approval to the kit on June 24.
