Datametrex is committed to helping Canada and Canadians find a safe and secure way to get people out of lockdown and back to work. The Company first identified the need for high quality test kits back in April, since then, it has established relationships with four South Korean manufacturers of nucleic acid test kits. The Company quickly identified that both public and private corporations are not fully equipped to administer and process the test kits on their own. As a result, the Company quickly sourced a qualified lab testing company to partner with that will provide customers with a turnkey solution to administer tests efficiently, safely, and accurately. The Company believes testing is going to be key to re-opening the economy in a safe fashion, and also believes in providing Canadians with the best solution.

“By participating in this project, Datametrex reaffirms its commitment to helping it customers, shareholders, families, and the Canadian public. This project hopes to aid in the reopening of businesses, travel, places of worship, community spaces, and social and cultural events in a safe and economic way,” said Marshall Gunter, CEO of Datametrex.

Dr. Alexander MacGregor, founder and President of TCI, stated, “Transpharm is pleased to join in the COVID-19 fight with Datametrex and provide a world class testing facility for this endeavour. This world pandemic poses an unprecedented threat to the way that most people live their daily lives. There are several obvious steps we can take to ensure that no one must choose between their health and leaving their homes, and that begins with testing. Transpharm has the people, the equipment, and world class lab space to meet the enormous demand coming and to get the job done.”
