Ted Mosler, President of Sanner America, shared, \u201cYukon Medical has awarded us this opportunity to continue making a difference in healthcare. The funding from NIH is going to allow this project to scale as the demand for COVID-19 testing continues to increase. Sanner will have the capacity to produce roughly 28 million swabs per month, and we\u2019re excited to scale up production as we help to support Yukon Medical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/research-training\/medical-research-initiatives\/radx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RADx initiative<\/a> seeks to significantly increase the number, type, and availability of tests by millions per week.
