ABOUT ABBOTT
PORTABLE, RELIABLE AND RAPID, WITH RESULTS ON THE SPOT, ALL IN THE SIZE OF A TOASTER. DIFFERENCE-MAKING INNOVATION.
In the fight against COVID-19, having multiple tests for different settings and stages of a person's infection is key, from high-volume laboratory capabilities to fast solutions that give results on the spot, from tests that detect the active virus to tests that detect antibodies in people who were previously infected. The portable, rapid molecular ID NOW COVID-19 test has emerged as a critical part of this arsenal, allowing fast diagnosis — with results in 13 minutes or less — in a variety of locations such as physicians' offices, urgent care clinics and other point-of-care locations. We have shipped nearly 4.5 million of our rapid ID NOW tests to all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the Pacific Islands.
