 PROFILE
Oral specimen kits and other diagnostic tests developed by OraSure Technologies (formerly Epitope) are designed to detect HIV and drug abuse. The firm's OraSure products use oral specimens rather than traditional blood- or urine-based methods to test for HIV. Its Intercept line uses oral samples to test for marijuana, cocaine, opiates, PCP, and amphetamines. OraSure also makes tests for alcohol abuse. The company is developing an OraSure product to detect syphilis with funding from the National Institutes of Health. The firm is also developing a rapid oral diagnostic testing method for HIV. OraSure sells its products in the US and internationally, primarily to the life insurance industry and public health markets.
