The U.S. Army has awarded to Sirigen a $2.1 million 3-year agreement which will result in technologies, test protocols, reagents and an instrument for rapid detection of bio-warfare agents for use by the U.S. Army and which can be commercialized by Sirigen for these and other applications.

U.S. Department of Agriculture
Sirigen has entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture aimed at developing well-plate assays for the detection of infectious agents of interest to the USDA, including VSV, blue tongue virus and West Nile virus. Sirigen will be poised to commercialize a family of “molecular antenna” reagents to support broad applications of NA testing for pathogen detection in food, water and human disease.
