Macrogen has established the first "Smart Mobile Lab" in Korea and has supplied it to Indonesia as well. Macrogen signed its first export agreement with LG International, on September 22nd. The initial two export units will be supplied to Indonesia through LG International. Following the first agreement, additional units are currently in last-minute negotiation over additional export agreements. Macrogen's Smart Mobile Lab is the mobile container type for on-site COVID 19 testing developed in Korea. It offers one-stop COVID-19 testing within a matter of minutes and it can be easily installed wherever as necessary. Macrogen has designed the SML that is easy to move and install in order to supply the K-quarantine packaging to overseas that are suffering from COVID-19 testing because of insufficient healthcare quarantine infrastructure. SML with strict Bio Safety Level-2(BSL-2) deals with all stages from viral RNA extraction, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), diagnosis, analysis, and to results. It also provides unique and differentiated services for Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), online/on-site training for lab technicians, and instrument maintenance. Macrogen's SML also displays excellent performance in terms of sustainability as it can be extended into a process capable of molecular diagnostic testing for various infectious diseases other than COVID-19. Currently, Macrogen is in the course of preparation for related patent applications based on the unique design structure of SML and the implementation of differentiated additional features.
