[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] NCtron announced on the 23rd that its affiliate Haim Biotech has received the European CE certification for its COVID-19 diagnostic kit.

Haim Biotech is currently in contact with several buyers capable of exporting to the European region. A company official stated, "We are receiving continuous inquiries about exclusive distribution rights for the European export of the COVID-19 diagnostic kit," adding, "We plan to officially start exports to the relevant regions soon through exclusive distribution agreements."

Haim Biotech is also in the process of obtaining approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the COVID-19 diagnostic kit.
