1. | The Company
Our business is composed of two segments: our “OSUR” business consists of the development, manufacture, marketing and sale of oral fluid diagnostic products and specimen collection devices using our proprietary technologies, other diagnostic products including immunoassays, and other in vitro diagnostic tests that are used on other specimen types. Our molecular collections systems or “DNAG” business consists of the development, manufacture, marketing and sale of specimen collection kits that are used to collect, stabilize, transport and store samples of genetic material for molecular testing in the consumer genetic, clinical genetic, academic research, pharmacogenomics, personalized medicine, microbiome and animal genetics markets. Our collection kits are also used for the collection of first-void urine for liquid biopsy in the prostate and bladder cancer markets, and in the sexually transmitted infection screening market. In addition, our DNAG business provides microbiome laboratory services that accelerate research and discovery for customers in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, and academic research markets. Our OSUR diagnostic products include tests that are performed on a rapid basis at the point of care and tests that are processed in a laboratory. These products are sold in the United States and internationally to various clinical laboratories, hospitals, clinics, and other public health organizations, distributors, government agencies, physicians’ offices, and commercial and industrial entities. We also previously manufactured and sold medical devices used for the removal of benign skin lesions by cryosurgery or freezing. These cryosurgical products were sold in both professional and over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets in North America, Europe, Central and South America, and Australia. We sold the assets associated with our cryosurgical systems business to a third party in August 2019. See further discussion at Note 4. Our DNAG or molecular collection systems business is operated by our subsidiaries, DNA Genotek Inc. (“DNAG”), CoreBiome Inc. (“CoreBiome”), and Novosanis NV (“Novosanis”). DNAG’s specimen collection devices provide all-in-one systems for the collection, stabilization, transportation and storage of nucleic acids from human saliva and other sample types for genetic and microbiome applications. Novosanis’ Colli-Pee collection device is designed for the volumetric collection of first-void urine for use in research, screening and diagnostics for the liquid biopsy and sexually transmitted disease markets. We also sell research use only sample collection products into the microbiome market and we offer our customers a suite of genomics and microbiome services, which range from package customization and study design optimization to extraction, analysis and reporting services. We serve customers worldwide in the research, healthcare, pharmaceutical and agricultural communities.
