The D-Tec 2 model Testing Pods will feature a CLIA certified
laboratory and deploy the OSANG GeneFinder™ test, offering COVID-19
test results in just two hours. Created in partnership with
Grimshaw, SG Blocks’ D-Tec suite of testing pods upcycles disused
shipping containers, offering a safe, efficient environment for
testing collection and onsite deployable laboratory analysis. The
CLIA certified laboratory will be operated and fully staffed by
Clarity Mobile Venture, a joint venture with SG Blocks and Clarity
Labs.
“We are proud to work with LAX to help bring passengers and
staff a greater sense of security and safety when it comes to air
travel,” said Paul Galvin, Chairman and CEO of SG Blocks.
“Accessible and rapid testing are essential in our world today and
through our turnkey D-Tec Testing Pods, we are pleased to be able
to offer both.”
The GeneFinder™ test – produced by OSANG Healthcare Co., Ltd, a
South Korea-based global manufacturer and distributor of
medical-grade diagnostic tests and equipment – is a polymerase
chain reaction (PCR) SARS-CoV-2 test for COVID-19 available in the
U.S. under the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization.
“We have designed the D-Tec System as a highly flexible and
rapid modular system that allows a fully operational Laboratory to
be deployed at the locations where samples are being collected”
stated Andrew Whalley, Chairman of Grimshaw.
Earlier this year, SG Blocks announced the signing of a
one-year, non-exclusive distributorship agreement with OSANG for
its GeneFinder™ COVID-19 Plus RealAmp Kit in the U.S.
