ATOMO IS SEEKING TO BE FIRST TO MARKET WITH A RAPID TEST THAT CAN DISTINGUISH BETWEEN
ACTIVE AND PRIOR TREATED SYPHILIS INFECTION:
•
Syphilis, has re-emerged as a significant global public health threat . Syphilis testing
market is expected to be worth around US$1.4bn by 2026 [Source]
•
Syphilis, has re-emerged as a significant global public health threat with an
estimated 7m new cases in 2022, according to WHO
•
Existing rapid tests cannot distinguish between current active and past treated
infections and are unsuited to test people that have had Syphilis previously with Lab
tests required to detect active syphilis and take days to return a confirmatory result
