DHR. They own a company called "Cepheid". Cepheid
makes in office molecular testing analyzers. Right now there
analyzer does FLU A and B, Strep and RSV. This is a
confirmatory test (that means that the MD does not need to send out
to a reference lab for confirmation. I read recently that
they are working on approval to have the test for Covid-19 approved
for this analyzer. This will be huge because then MD's in
private practice or Urgent cares can do the testing and confirm
right there with the patient and treat. Not wait 3 days for
CDC to get back to them. DHR has sold off some with the
market but could be a nice longer term buy.
