Xerum assigned by Swedish Public Health Agency to measure number of Swedes with antibodies against SARS-CoV-2

Umeå-based Xerum launched a home testing kit in March that detects antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 - the virus that causes Covid-19. Uptake of the kits was strong, and now the company has been given an important assignment by the Swedish Public Health Agency. “We will be responsible for the distribution and analysis of our self-sampling kits as part of a large study” says Julia Wigren Byström, CEO.
