100 thousand PCR tests for coronavirus were delivered to Ukraine from South Korea

An aircraft arrived in Ukraine from Seoul, the Republic of Korea, with 100 thousand PCR tests for COVID-19 detection manufactured by SolGent.

The supply was provided by the Caremille company for the needs of Ukraine's healthcare system.

After the customs procedures, the test systems will be delivered to the infectious disease laboratories having proper storage conditions all over the country.

The cargo was shipped to Ukraine at the initiative of the Office of the President, and was coordinated by the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the Republic of Korea Olexander Horin.

The SolGent test system kit contains all the necessary components for a polymerase chain reaction. Therefore, when used, there is no need for additional reagents. Testing takes from 105 to 120 minutes.
