Jonathan Maa, COO of Maxim Bio said, “As a women and minority-owned small business, we are proud to be one of a select few American companies with an FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for an over-the-counter, home-use rapid antigen test for COVID-19. We are exceedingly proud to be building our product exclusively here in the United States, helping to strengthen manufacturing in America and employing hundreds of Americans in the process.” Maxim Bio, who only received their EUA in January, recently successfully fulfilled an 8 million test production contract for the United States Department of Defense, receiving a high rating by the department for contract performance and delivery.
