Expansion to include increased royalties and cover additional applications for Company’s technology platform

Salt Lake City, Utah –  Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CODX), a molecular diagnostics company with a unique, patented platform for the development of molecular diagnostic tests, and LGC, Biosearch Technologies (“LGC”), a global leader in the design, development, and manufacture of sophisticated, custom oligonucleotide-based tools and associated reagents for applied markets, announced today an expansion of their license agreement related to the use of the Company’s CoPrimer™ technology.

The expanded license includes additional research applications not previously covered by the existing agreement. Products sold under the expanded license will be marketed, sold, and distributed by LGC, whose footprint covers over 200 countries. The Company anticipates additional revenue from future commercialization of the CoPrimer research products developed by LGC customers outside of AgBio applications, which will be subject to separate license agreements directly between Co-Diagnostics and those customers.

Dwight Egan, Co-Diagnostics CEO, remarked, “We believe that the expansion of this license agreement and increased royalty structure for the additional applications will deliver meaningful revenue growth to the Company.

“The agreement highlights LGC’s commitment to our platform, and the technology’s potential to improve PCR technology, particularly in multiplex reactions. We also expect that the efforts of LGC’s sales force will lower our cost of sales while helping to create a larger customer base for our technology, as more LGC clients take advantage of the time- and cost-saving advantages of true multiplex PCR, without concern of cross-reactivity among primer sets leading to inaccurate results.”

Mark Dearden, Vice President Strategy and Marketing remarked, “LGC is delighted to expand its agreement with Co-Diagnostics. Delivering more data within a specific budget is a critical need for our customers, which Multiplexing can address.  BHQplex™ CoPrimers build on LGC’s strong foundation of innovation in PCR genotyping technologies.”  Click here to learn more about BHQplex™ CoPrimers, LGC’s private-labeled CoPrimer product for research in Agrigenomic applications.
