leader in automated cell processing tools and services in the cell
and gene therapy field, along with its joint venture, ImmuneCyte,
Inc. today announced plans to roll out a comprehensive diagnostic
and therapeutic product line to fight the global COVID-19 pandemic.

The spread of COVID-19, both domestically and internationally,
has led to a significant unmet need for rapid disease diagnosis,
systematic serological surveillance and improved therapeutics, to
precede and complement the introduction of vaccines. In response,
ThermoGenesis, along with its joint venture ImmuneCyte, is
developing a comprehensive list of RT-PCR and antigen test products
to complement its SARS-CoV-2 IgM/IgG Antibody Test Kit, which has
already been granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). The
joint venture also plans to offer full CLIA certified lab testing
services to its clients, making ThermoGenesis a one-stop shop for
all testing needs. Additionally, the ImmuneCyte joint venture is
actively developing a robust therapeutic pipeline to treat
COVID-19.
"The comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic product pipeline
we envisage for COVID-19 will facilitate ThermoGenesis' ability to
become a one-stop solution for our customers," stated Chris Xu, Ph.D, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of ThermoGenesis. "This multi-pronged approach, we believe,
will be critical to reopening the economy, tracking the virus, and
minimizing the loss of life as we continue to develop and expand
our product solutions for COVID-19."
