2021: Creation of a company for the production of express tests on COVID-19
On October 21, 2021, it became known about the creation of KrymTest in Crimea, which will produce products for the rapid detection of infections in humans, including coronavirus (COVID-19).
The project is being implemented by White Product, which is one of the major suppliers of test systems for determining coronavirus infection in the Russian market. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this company proposed rapid coronavirus diagnostic systems from the SD Biosensor Biodagnostic Research Center (South Korea).
According to Alexey Altynbaev, White Product Development Director, the comprehensive creation of a production site for the development of a wide range of infectious diseases tests will cost about 500 million rubles. Under the Crimean Test brand, it is planned to produce tests for diagnosing coronavirus in three minutes, which is a record for Russian manufacturers. The accuracy of these systems reaches 98%. Components for the site will be from South Korea.
An investment agreement of intent, which guarantees the launch of pilot production in the region in the next month and a half, was concluded by the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea and White Product on October 21, 2021.
 | This will make it possible to fulfill the president's order to prevent COVID-19 and expand the volume of testing of infected people at times, "said Dmitry Vorona, Director General of the Development Corporation of the Republic of Crimea. |  |
Alexey Altynbaev added that there are a lot of different test systems, but it is important to control their quality so that the administration knows what is used in the region.
The launch in Crimea of the production of express tests for COVID-19 coronavirus became known a couple of days after the Check Index service published a study in which it reported that the average check for PCR testing in Russia increased by 27% to 2226 rubles, and in the fall of 2021 such tests were made nine times more than in 2020.[1]
