DiaCarta Ltd. said U.S. regulators have granted Emergency Use
Authorization to its test kit for monkeypox infections.
The molecular diagnostics and disease-testing company said
Thursday morning that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
extended the approval to its QuantiVirus MPXV test.
The test detects the monkeypox virus from lesion swabs and is
designed for laboratory use.
DiaCarta agreed in October to be acquired and taken public by
the blank-check company HH&L Acquisition Co. in a deal that
gave DiaCarta an implied pre-money equity value of $460 million.
The merger is expected to close this quarter.
