These additions are planned to increase QuidelOrtho's ability to compete for full-menu tenders and serve a wider range of laboratory settings, from smaller laboratories seeking low-volume solutions to larger, high-throughput environments that require scalable capacity and broad test menus.

Bryan Hanson, Senior Vice President of Global Clinical Laboratory and Transfusion Medicine at QuidelOrtho, said:
"Through our collaboration with Lifotronic Technology, QuidelOrtho will rapidly introduce scalable testing solutions that further advance our long-term innovation strategy in core growth markets. This agreement strengthens our portfolio in markets where assay breadth and cost efficiency are key requirements, while offering customers a broader and more diverse set of solutions."

Mr. Liu Xiancheng, Chairman of Lifotronic Technology, said:
"This strategic partnership with QuidelOrtho marks an important milestone in Lifotronic Technology's global expansion strategy. Going forward, we will work closely with QuidelOrtho, continuing to leverage our in-house R&D strengths to deliver high-value diagnostic solutions that meet real clinical needs for customers worldwide."

The commercial focus will be on Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Mexico, Central America, South America, India, China, Japan, and Asia-Pacific regions. This strategic expansion is planned to support QuidelOrtho's ability to address menu gaps, increase competitiveness in international tenders, and deliver more complete immunoassay solutions to laboratories seeking broader menus and flexible system options.
