T2 Biosystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTOO) Files An 8-K Other Events
Item 8.01

Business Update

As previously disclosed, T2 Biosystems, Inc. (the “Company”) is currently developing a SARS-CoV-2 test, (the “T2SARS-CoV-2 Test”), to run on the Company’s proprietary T2Dx Instrument platform and anticipates shipping the first tests to U.S. customers for clinical use as early as the end of June. The T2SARS-CoV-2 Test is anticipated to be a sample-to-answer test of a nasopharyngeal swab specimen, with a turnaround time of less than two hours and a limit of detection of less than 1,000 genomic equivalents per milliliter. Based on significant interest regarding the availability of the T2SARS-CoV-2 Test the Company has received to date, the Company anticipates that there will be demand for the test upon it being made commercially available for clinical use. The Company currently has the resources to manufacture up to 100,000 tests per month and, subject to the success of the Company’s efforts to secure additional non-dilutive funding to support expansion of manufacturing capacity, estimates that it could potentially ramp to approximately 1,000,000 tests per month.
