"We are making critical advances across neurology and infectious
disease with recent breakthrough device designation for an Alzheimer's blood test and expanded EUA label for a COVID-19 test by
the U.S. FDA," said Kevin Hrusovsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Quanterix. "Our Simoa phospho-Tau 181 (pTau-181)
blood test is a critical potential aid in the diagnostic evaluation of Alzheimer's disease, in particular by unlocking the possibility
for earlier, more accessible, higher-throughput, non-invasive diagnosis to enable advances in neuro-diagnostic therapies. Furthermore,
our label expansion for our Simoa SARS-CoV-2 N Protein Antigen Test demonstrates yet another example of Simoa's potential for achieving
asymptomatic and low-invasive clinical testing."
