OraSure Technologies focuses on creating simple, accessible diagnostic tools and sample-collection systems for infectious diseases. Its core products include rapid tests and molecular diagnostics that use oral-fluid specimens, such as the OraQuick at-home HIV test, and collection devices from DNA Genotek. The company builds end-to-end solutions by combining easy-to-use tests with reliable specimen collection, enabling testing at home, in clinics, or in the field. What sets OraSure apart is its long history of FDA-approved oral-fluid diagnostics and a strategy that blends product development with targeted acquisitions (e.g., DNA Genotek, Sherlock Biosciences) to cover collection, processing, and analysis. The goal is to expand access to accurate, rapid testing for infectious diseases, making diagnostics more convenient and broadly available.

What believers are saying

  • Q2 2026 revenue rose to $30.6 million; management targets Q3 $29.5-$32.5 million.
  • Gross margin reached 43.5% in Q2 2026, and OraSure held $161 million cash.
  • Share repurchases totaled $22 million, while Colli-Pee Dx expanded Roche-connected STI access.

What critics are saying

  • Altai Capital forced a 2026 proxy fight, then extracted board seats and declassification terms.
  • OraSure delayed InteliQuick CT/NG beyond 2026, forfeiting a near-term U.S. launch.
  • Single-digit layoffs in February 2026 signal fragile demand; a failed pipeline leaves OraSure subscale.

What makes OraSure Technologies unique

  • OraSure's DNA Genotek sells stabilized sample-collection kits, anchored by Roche's June 2026 clearance.
  • FDA authorized OraQuick Ebola 2.0 in July 2026, spanning whole blood and cadaveric oral fluid.
  • The company monetizes home-and-point-of-need testing, plus direct-to-consumer saliva collection partnerships like Targeted Genomics.

OraSure Q2 revenue climbs 9.7% to $30.6M, FDA clears STI test as firm targets 2027 profitability

OraSure Technologies reported second-quarter revenue of $30.6 million, up 9.7% sequentially and exceeding guidance. Diagnostic-products revenue rose 14.7% whilst sample-management revenue grew 9%, driven by stronger public-health demand, syphilis testing, and Sickle SCAN. The company achieved regulatory milestones including FDA clearance for its Colli-Pee Dx STI urine-collection kit and Emergency Use Authorisation for the OraQuick Ebola 2.0 test. However, it delayed the expected 2026 US launch of its IntelliQuick CT/NG test. Gross margin improved to 43.5%. OraSure ended the quarter debt-free with $161 million in cash. Management forecast third-quarter revenue of $29.5 million to $32.5 million and continues targeting operating cash-flow break-even entering 2027.

OraSure receives FDA emergency use authorization for second-generation Ebola test

OraSure Technologies has received Emergency Use Authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration for its second generation OraQuick Ebola 2.0 Rapid Antigen Test. The test can detect all four Ebola viruses known to cause disease in humans using whole blood or cadaveric oral fluid, with results available in 30 minutes. The second-generation test features increased sensitivity and new chemistry compared to the original version, which received full FDA authorisation in 2019. Development was supported by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority under a 2022 contract. The authorisation comes as Central Africa faces a serious Ebola outbreak centred in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which has prompted the World Health Organisation to declare a global public health emergency. OraSure is ramping up production to meet potential demand.

OraSure gains FDA clearance for at-home STI test collection kit compatible with Roche systems

OraSure Technologies has received FDA clearance for its Colli-Pee Dx Urine Collection Kit, enabling at-home testing for sexually transmitted infections including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomonas and mycoplasma genitalium. The kit works with Roche's cobas molecular diagnostic systems. The device uses proprietary stabilisation technology to maintain urine sample integrity at ambient temperatures, allowing patients to collect first-void urine samples privately at home. Healthcare providers can prescribe the kit, and laboratories can process specimens using Roche's automated platforms. The clearance expands access for individuals with mobility or geographical constraints and enables population-level screening programmes. OraSure subsidiary DNA Genotek will sell the kit, supporting high-volume molecular STI testing through a validated mail-in workflow.

OraSure Technologies, Inc. announces FDA clearance that expands patient-friendly access to testing for sexually transmitted infections.

OraSure Technologies, Inc. announces FDA clearance that expands patient-friendly access to testing for sexually transmitted infections. The clearance combines OraSure's Colli-Pee(TM)- Dx Urine Collection Kit for at-home sample collection with Roche's cobas(R) molecular lab testing equipment. BETHLEHEM, Pa., June 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - OraSure Technologies, Inc. ("OraSure") (NASDAQ: OSUR), a leader in point-of-need and home diagnostic tests and sample management solutions today announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of its Colli-Pee(TM)- Dx Urine Collection Kit from its subsidiary DNA Genotek Inc., for use with Roche's tests for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) and run on Roche's cobas(R) 5800, 6800, and 8800 molecular diagnostic systems. The FDA-cleared collection kit supports at-home self-collection of first-void urine, enabling convenient sample collection at-home or in any private setting for both male and female patients. This clearance marks a significant advancement in patient-centric diagnostics, combining OraSure's Colli-Pee(TM)- Dx Urine Collection Kit, which includes NucleoPrecision(TM) Technology, a proprietary chemistry for DNA and RNA stabilization, with Roche's cobas(R) high-throughput molecular testing capabilities. The Colli-Pee(TM)- Dx Urine Collection Kit uses innovative stabilization technology to make STI laboratory testing easier by allowing reliable, private at-home urine collection and maintaining urine sample integrity at ambient temperatures. It expands access for individuals constrained by mobility, geography, or other barriers; improves patient convenience; and makes population-level screening programs feasible for broader, previously underserved populations. Healthcare providers can now prescribe, and laboratories can now receive, self-collected urine specimens directly from patients' homes and process them seamlessly and at scale using Roche's cobas(R) automated laboratory platforms. The Colli-Pee(TM)- Dx Urine Collection Kit is designed to collect volumetric, first-void urine, ensuring optimal sample-to-preservative-ratio, a critical factor for STI detection, while offering a simple, non-invasive experience that prioritizes patient convenience and privacy. "This clearance connects people to care that is more accessible, convenient, private, and personalized. It showcases what's possible when you design solutions around real-life patient behavior," said Carrie Eglinton Manner, President and Chief Executive Officer of OraSure. "We are committed to delivering user-friendly tests and collection devices that can be conveniently used in decentralized settings, and this clearance reflects meaningful progress on our innovation roadmap." Enabling Scalable, Decentralized Testing With FDA clearance, laboratories and health systems can now deploy a fully validated mail-in workflow that supports high-volume molecular STI testing without invasive sample collection methods. The collaboration enables the convenience of at-home urine collection, improves reach to populations in need, and supports public health initiatives focused on early detection and treatment of STIs. The Colli-Pee(TM)- Dx Urine Collection Kit will be sold by OraSure subsidiary DNA Genotek. About OraSure Technologies OraSure Technologies, Inc.
