Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. said it is developing an antibody test with WuXi Diagnostics and Mayo Clinic, and that it will seek emergency use authorization for it from the Food and Drug Administration and international regulatory organizations in coming weeks.

The test will be able to detect the Immunoglobulin M and Immunoglobulin G antibodies to help determine if a person has been exposed to Covid-19, the company said.

As it prepares to apply for authorization, the company said it will begin manufacturing the tests in the U.S. and Europe in the next few weeks.
