Air Canada T.AC

Anyone know the company providing the rapid saliva test?

I see some people saying it's sparten because of the recent approval from health Canada. But I believe it's a company called Therma Bright.

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

Therma Bright (THRM) is the company that already has a contract with A.C. to provide the most accurate, most rapid and lowest cost production. Not sure how these other companies can compete with that. They are gearing up for worldwide distribution. Get in now while it's still relatively cheap. GLTA

Perhaps you can put a link to the contract that this company has with Air Canada and what the agreement entails. The current 25,000 units that AC bought for testing were from Abbott. They have mentioned working with Spartan, the Ottawa company that did just receive Health Canada approval for their rapid test device. https://aircanada.mediaroom.com/2020-10-01-Air-Canada-Finalizing-Initial-Order
