Adial has already begun selling the test kits to health care institutions and providers. They are selling them through the iRemedy Healthcare Companies, inc. Network and ecommerce platform. The kits in distribution are suitable for the detection of IgG and IgM antibodies of the SARS-CoV-2 virus using fingerstick whole blood samples, plasma, serum as well as venous whole blood.
