RE:Anyone know the company providing the rapid saliva test?The company is called Abbott. Read their latest update on the entire array of Covid testing products. While there is room for others the small Canadian outfits will have a huge challenge in production costs and infrastructure set up. The amount of tests required daily to make testing viable is massive.
This large company is already expanding their production and can seemingly afford to do so. If the tests produced by Spartan or Therm are quality i would suspect either or both will be bought out before they ever scale to the size needed to produce tests in the volume needed to compete with other manufacturers.
