The company has an active development programme underway for tuberculosis detection and drug resistance assessment. The company most recently announced the launch of the Genedrive MT-RNR1 ID Kit, a pharmacogenomic test to prevent antibiotic induced deafness in infants, which is being co-developed with the partners in the UK's National Health Service. The company released a high throughput SARS-CoV-2 assay in 2020, Genedrive 96 SARS-CoV-2, and has recently launched a rapid point of care test for COVID-19 for use on the Genedrive instrument, the Genedrive COV19-ID Kit.
