Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions to help you learn more about ASSURE rapid tests.
1. What is ASSURE-100?
ASSURE-100 is a rapid COVID-19 test that uses an anterior nasal specimen to detect COVID-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. ASSURE is an acronym for: Accelerated Sensor Solution for Urgent Response to Epidemics.
2. Where was ASSURE-100 developed?
The ASSURE technology and ASSURE-100 rapid COVID-19 test was developed by Oceanit in Hawaiʻi and was put through testing and clinical trials in Hawaii and in other states across the US.
