The COVID-19 self-diagnostic kit developed by South Korean biopharmaceutical company Celltrion has received emergency approval from US drug authorities.
The product uses an antibody that specifically binds to the Covid-19 virus and detects infection within 15 minutes, Celltrion said.

It is most suitable for identifying acute or early infection of the Covid-19 virus.

Celltrion USA, which handles Celltrion's overseas business, will be responsible for the sales.
