About the Company

OraSure Technologies

Develops and commercializes oral-fluid diagnostic tests

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.
