In a recent InvestorIntel interview, Chris Thompson speaks with James Howard-Tripp, Chairman and CEO of StageZero Life Sciences Ltd. (TSX: SZLS) about StageZero’s COVID-19 testing revenue and Q1 financial results.

In this InvestorIntel interview, which may also be viewed on YouTube (click here to subscribe to the InvestorIntel Channel), James went on to say that StageZero, in its Q1 financial results, reported a “healthy revenue with more than 60% margin from COVID testing”. He added that the company “has signed a series of long-term contracts” and expects the revenue to remain healthy for the rest of the year and will continue to build as revenues from Aristotle as part of the AVRT Program starts to come in. Touching on the recently announced Rexall partnerships to sell StageZero COVID-19 saliva test kits, James adds how the acquisition of Health Clinics Limited will create multiple revenue streams and make the launch of its multi-cancer test more impactful.

About StageZero Life Sciences, Ltd.

StageZero Life Sciences is dedicated to the early detection of multiple diseases through whole blood tests. The Company’s next-generation test, Aristotle®, is the first-ever multi-cancer panel for simultaneously screening for 10 cancers from a single sample of blood with high sensitivity and specificity for each cancer. StageZero’s full service, telehealth platform includes access to physicians and phlebotomists who can prescribe and draw samples for individuals and groups, and the Company operates a CAP accredited and CLIA certified high-complexity reference laboratory in Richmond, Virginia. In addition, leveraging its specialty in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for the early identification of cancer through blood, StageZero also provides both COVID PCR testing (swab and saliva) and blood test analysis (Antibody testing).

In a recent InvestorIntel interview, Tracy Weslosky spoke with James Howard-Tripp, Chairman and CEO of StageZero Life Sciences Ltd. (TSX: SZLS) about StageZero’s first-quarter financial results, Aristotle as part of the AVRT Program and the Rexall Partnership for COVID-19 Saliva Tests.

In this InvestorIntel interview, which may also be viewed on YouTube (click here to subscribe to the InvestorIntel Channel), James went on to provide an update on the launch of Aristotle as part of the AVRT Program and StageZero’s intent to acquire Health Clinics Limited. Unlike COVID-19 tests, cancer tests in the U.S. have to be prescribed by a physician. James explained how Health Clinics as “part and parcel” of StageZero will help them reach patients and have a bigger impact than trying to launch a stand-alone cancer-detection service. Driven by the goal “…to reduce the incidence of late-stage cancer by 50% over the next decade through early interventions”, James said that the acquisition of Health Clinics will set StageZero in liquid biopsy, early detection of disease and telemedicine, three of the highest growth areas within healthcare right now.

In a recent InvestorIntel interview, Tracy Weslosky speaks with Dr. Jon Gluckman, President, CEO and Founder of Sixth Wave Innovations Inc. (CSE: SIXW | OTCQB: ATURF) about the application of their patented Molecular Imprint Polymers (#MIPs) technology for the detection of the COVID-19 virus, the flu and virus detection in general.

In this InvestorIntel interview, which may also be viewed on YouTube (click here to subscribe to the InvestorIntel Channel), Dr. Gluckman went on to say that their patented #MIPs technology can identify molecules and may be used for detection of viruses in general and more specifically for COVID-19. He added, “We are in the phase 2 of our development for a COVID-19 test that would be completely synthetic test based on our molecular imprinted polymer technology.” Sixth Wave was recently awarded funding from the Nova Scotia COVID-19 Response Council for the development of its Accelerated Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (AMIPs™) technology for the rapid detection of viruses such as SARS-CoV-2.

Speaking on the advantages of their synthetic test Dr. Gluckman said that the two test currently used for COVID-19 detection uses biological material which is fragile and uses tremendous infrastructure to support growing of the biological materials. He explained that Sixth Wave’s technology uses synthetic polymers to detect viruses at a very low cost and allows for extended shelf life, minimal storage and handling requirements, and less sensitivity to temperature and light degradation.

“You can think about our polymer almost like an antibody inside a body,” says Dr. Jonathan Gluckman, President, CEO and Founder of Sixth Wave Innovations Inc. (CSE: SIXW | OTCQB: ATURF), in an interview with InvestorIntel’s Tracy Weslosky. “A virus has a size and shape and we create an imprint in our polymer for that exact virus. Then we will detect that directly based on our chemistry,” he continued. “We are working to integrate this into masks and breathalyzers and then we can just utilize the breath, as we all know that’s the main transmission method. If you think about putting a mask on, not only will that mask provide protection, it can also, right there, be the test for COVID-19.”

Dr. Gluckman explained that Sixth Wave’s COVID-19 detection technology is currently under development but the company has successfully launched and commercialized other products with similar properties. The company has received a grant from the Canadian government to work with York University and the CTRI (Centre Technologique des Résidus Industriels) to use its virus detection technology to detect COVID-19 virus in wastewater supplies and in air handling systems.

Highlighting the advantages of Sixth Wave’s COVID-19 test over other tests, Dr. Gluckman also said that the test will be cheaper, faster and easy to use.
