In early March, as Italy became the first European country to truly experience the devasting effects of the coronavirus, Alpha Pharma focused its expertise and resources, pivoting its technology to the development of covid-19 testing.

After months of thorough research and trials, Alpha Pharma is proud to be leading the way in covid-19 testing. In June 2020, Alpha Pharma launched a rapid test for the qualitative determination of lgM and lgG COVID-19 antibodies – Iris VivaDiag COVID-19 IgM IgG rapid test. The Alpha Pharma test is now in use in hospitals, public bodies and businesses across the globe.
