The AccuDx portfolio includes additional rapid tests for HIV-1, HIV-2, for example, and Dengue Fever.

"When we acquired exclusive rights to the AccuDx rapid-test portfolio, we said that we expected to generate revenues from these products in specialty diagnostic markets outside of the United States," said Dr. Hun-Chi Lin, President and Chief Scientist, Grant Life Sciences.

Indeed, this order demonstrates that we are making considerable progress toward executing our new corporate strategy: (1) to acquire new products and technologies via in-licensing activities; (2) out-license products for further development and sales; and (3) drive sales through our established marketing channels--as is the case with this significant order from India," said Dr. Lin.
