With the continued call across the globe for increased COVID-19 testing, Aytu Bioscience Inc. (NASDAQ:AYTU) has announced an agreement with Apollo Med Innovations, Inc. The agreement focuses on the distribution of COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette to more than 1,000 practices and where Apollo’s network is spread out.

The distribution agreement will enhance Aytu’s protocols of offering comprehensive laboratory support services to medical clinics, wellness centers, and clinical laboratories. All this will provide a stretched out menu of testing. Additionally, Apollo will offer consultation services to disseminate the correct information required for COVID testing under safety guidelines and the use of the right products.
