NEW YORK – The US Food and Drug Administration on Monday granted Emergency Use Authorization for Hologic's Panther Fusion SARS-CoV-2 assay, the company announced after the close of the market.
The FDA also issued EUA to Laboratory Corporation of America's coronavirus assay, as the total number of emergency-use-authorized commercial assays for detecting SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, grew to four, in addition to EUA-designated tests from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the New York State Department of Health.
