“With the continuing scarcity of available home antigen tests, we saw an opportunity to support our country with a reliable home test from a local manufacturer they can trust.”

The company noted that the iStatis COVID-19 Antigen Home Test will help to identify infection and reduce the virus’ transmission and exposure by giving Canadians the option of a simple Covid-19 test at home.

It also allows people to make informed health decisions at work, at home and in their communities.

For sale and distribution across Canada, the antigen test kits will be manufactured at bioLytical’s ISO 13485: MDSAP-certified facility located in Richmond, British Columbia.

The company is working to ensure the availability of test kits across Canada.

Prior to this development, the test received CE Mark for immediate entry into the European market.
