Executive Summary
The pace of business for UK immunodiagnostics company Cozart Bioscience is hotting up. The Abingdon-based company is planning a worldwide launch (except US) of its sensitive on-site RapiScan test for detecting buprenorphine use and nor- buprenorphine in urine. The analgesic is used as an alternative to methadone in moving patients off heroine and opiates, and the kit will be a useful tool helping staff in drug dependency clinics to check rapidly - within ten minutes - if patients are complying with their treatment regimes. The launch will take place next month.
