Different from many other rapid tests, Ninonasal® already confirmed its ability to detect the most important variants of concerns clinically in European hospitals. Its unique test design allows the detection of the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon variants. Therefore, Ninonasal® represents a precious and widely accepted tool for easy and frequent testing to detect positive cases and interrupt infections chains.
Obtaining CE marking
The Ninonasal® rapid test already proofed its performance since April 2021 under the special approval for home use from the French health authority. Now, with its CE mark for home use provided by a German notified body, it can be deployed in Europe within the framework of international distribution agreements.
In France, Ninonasal® is assembled into kits and distributed by Boiron Laboratories in order to strengthen its “fully made in France” character.
Milovan Stankov-Pugès, CEO of NG Biotech, says:
"Facing non-standardized local registration processes and products of doubtful quality and origin, distributors and public institutions across Europe were approaching us for help. With Ninonasal®, we did not just launch another rapid antigen test. It’s a solution for all those who understood that there is finally nothing more expensive than a cheap COVID test
".

Meiji Seika Pharma Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President and Representative Director: Toshiaki Nagasato) today announced a strategic investment in Centivax, Inc. (Head Office: South San Francisco, CA, USA), a biotechnology company developing next-generation vaccines and therapies for universal protection against highly diverse targets. Centivax’s lead program includes a universal seasonal influenza vaccine (Centi-Flu 01) currently in a Phase 1 clinical study. Unlike conventional seasonal flu vaccines, which must be manufactured annually based on recommended candidate vaccine viruses, Centivax’s platform focuses both antibody and cellular immune responses on conserved regions of the influenza virus that cannot mutate and are shared across strains and distant subtypes.
