On Feb. 12, 2020, Chembio Diagnostics announced a $1.5 million purchase order from UNICEF for multiplex Zika tests and Micro Readers following the successful completion of conditions set forth in the previously announced long term arrangement (LTA). This initial order was part of the LTA, which had a total value of up to $3.5 million.

Chembio’s multiplex DPP Zika System allows simultaneous and discrete detection of antibodies for both active (IgM) and prior exposure (IgG) to the Zika virus, which is important for both treatment and surveillance.
