Executive Summary
TECHNICAL CHEMICALS AND PRODUCTS' 10-MINUTE TCPI RAPID TEST HIV is expected to generate sales before the end of the year in overseas markets such as India and Africa, the company says. The test kit, which will sell for less than $10, is designed to be used as an on-site screening test for HIV-1 and HIV-2. It produces results within five to 10 minutes and requires less "specialized equipment or training" than enzyme immunoassay tests or Western blot confirmatory tests, Technical Chemicals says.
