Australia-based Dotz Nano has recently secured a partner, World Siam Company Limited (WSG), for distribution of its Dotz Test Kits in Thailand. Effective as of December 8th, the agreement permits WSG the conditionally exclusive right to promote, sell and distribute Dotz's nasopharyngeal swab and saliva-based test kits for an initial three-year term, subject to minimum first-year purchase orders of $250,000 being met.

Dotz's recent deal with WSG follows on the heels of a December 3rd distribution agreement for its test kits inked with Malaysia's Science Vision, which was concluded for an initial three-year period with a minimum first-year purchase order of $600,000.

Earlier this year, in July the company clinched its first agreement for its test kits with Hygiene Links for distribution in Sudan, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates, followed by a similar deal signed in September with El Alamo SA for distribution in Paraguay.

Dotz Test Kits are based on the RT-LAMP diagnostic method, with reported levels of sensitivity and accuracy comparable to those observed in standard RT-PCR testing. Each test kits has the ability to process nearly 100 samples in 30 minutes, thereby both streamlining and amplifying testing capabilities in highly-trafficked areas such as transportation nodes, border crossings, and school systems.
