Revlar Labs (www.RevlarLabs.com), founded in 2020, is utilizing a breakthrough technology exclusively licensed from Ireland’s University College Dublin to develop diagnostic tests for COVID-19, influenza and other diseases. Based on the successes of its laboratory prototypes, Revlar anticipates that these tests will be faster, more convenient, more accurate and less expensive than diagnostic tests now on the market.
