SAN DIEGO, Jan. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRNE, "Sorrento") and Sorrento Mexico today announced that approximately 1,000,000 COVISTIX tests were distributed last week in Mexico. Orders are increasing daily as pent-up demand is high for a sensitive and convenient test that is capable of accurately detecting all of the current variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, including the dominant Omicron variant. Millions of additional COVISTIX tests are scheduled to be delivered to Mexico, with tens of millions more being manufactured to support the increasing demand for COVISTIX worldwide. “We believe there is a significant unmet need for a sensitive and rapid antigen test which detects Omicron with high sensitivity even for asymptomatic patients,” stated Dr. Henry Ji, Chairman and CEO of Sorrento Therapeutics.
