In summary, Co-Diagnostics is well capitalized and disciplined in its capital allocation strategy, while also receiving support from world class organizations who are aligned with our long-term strategy
To close, we remain confident that the quality, ease of use, affordability and quick turnaround time of our platform will deliver an impact to patients and communities around the world
Since 2019, CoSara has received approval from the Indian CDSCO for 14 in vitro diagnostic tests that utilize our Co-Primers technology, which gives us additional confidence in our regulatory and commercialization approach in that country
These assays provide reliable PCR diagnostics results, which can drive improve healthcare outcomes
We are excited about the future of Co-Diagnostics and the value that our disruptive technology can provide to a global healthcare infrastructure
The assays or tests that run on our new platform utilize our patented Co-Primers PCR technology developed by Co-Diagnostics, which improves the quality of test results by dramatically reducing the occurrence of amplification errors known as primer dimers, which can lead to false positive results
We are committed to maintaining a strong cash position through diligent expense management to ensure Co-Diagnostics is well capitalized to execute our long-term growth initiatives
Over time, we believe the new platforms ability to support these initiatives will become another competitive differentiator for our end users
As we discussed on our second quarter earnings call, we believe our success should be measured in terms of progress made toward our development and operational goals
And we are pleased to have additional evidence from third parties that supports the value and utility of our platform
Recognition from global thought leading organizations highlights the disruptive nature of our technology and the value we believe our company can provide to a global healthcare infrastructure
We are confident that CoSara has the capacity to effectively manufacture and support the commercialization of our TB test
Overall, it has been a busy time at Co-Diagnostics and we anticipate the next several months to be an exciting time for the company as well
Our company is well funded with $63.4 million in cash and equivalents on the balance sheet, grant support from notable international leaders in health care
We expect that demand for our platform in India will be robust, and we plan to utilize our most recent grant to offset additional costs
And we are confident that her expertise in regulatory affairs, including regulatory submissions for point-of-care, and in vitro diagnostic products will be invaluable to Co-Diagnostics’s future regulatory submissions
When combined, our Co-Primers technology and multiplexing capabilities augment the already disrupted nature of the Co-Dx PCR platform
We believe that a significant opportunity exists for Co-Diagnostics within the global TB market
We believe this test will provide extensive value across many end markets, including those we initially planned to target with our COVID test
One of the most exciting features of the Co-Dx PCR platform will be direct real time HIPAA compliant integration into the EMR, creating additional use cases for our platform, including outbreak monitoring
Notably, we were pleased to also recently announced a nearly $9 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for the tuberculosis assay under development to be run on the Co-Dx PCR platform
Data from this study with PATH demonstrated the performance and ease of use of the COVID-19 tests on the new platform, which confirmed our belief in the potential effectiveness of the test in both at home and point-of-care settings
And there are lots of those around the country that is one of our primary targets, they have a very strong need to continue to test patients and employees for COVID
Additionally, because our platform is real time PCR, it is better suited for multiplexing or testing for multiple disease indications within the same sample and reaction when compared to other technologies
We are particularly encouraged by the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act, PAHPA in which the federal government is contemplating a significant set of initiatives in the context of outbreak and monitoring capabilities
We also showcased our platform at other trade shows and expos where our presence has reinforced the global unmet need for an easy to use, accurate and affordable point-of-care diagnostic platform
We are closer to a commercial launch for our Co-Dx PCR platform and continue to make progress towards our development goals
Ultimately, we believe that our COVID-19 tests will serve as the first in a series of indications That will open the diagnostics market opportunity for other tests on the Co-Dx PCR platform
