The Norwich-based producer of a rapid result coronavirus test has secured £2m in investment to continue its work.
Iceni Diagnostics, which is producing a test which can determine if somebody has Covid-19 within 15 minutes, has received commitments from 35 different investors, which will pump £2m into its coffers in 2021.
The investment means the company, which is based at the Norwich Research Park, will be able to play a central role in the fight against Covid-19 on both sides of the Atlantic.
And the boost comes as it awaits imminent results from its latest trials.
