MTB test on Co-Dx PCR platform* to be presented at roundtable with Stop TB Partnership, U.S. Department of State, and global stakeholders

SALT LAKE CITY, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq-CM: CODX) (the "Company"), a molecular diagnostics company with a unique, patented platform for the development of molecular diagnostic tests, today announced that it has been invited to participate in the Stop TB Partnership Summit in Washington, D.C. on April 17, 2026. The Company will present the Co-Dx Mycobacterium tuberculosis ("MTB" or "TB") test on the Co-Dx PCR platform* during a roundtable discussion with U.S. government agencies and other U.S.-based private sector companies.

"We anticipate that the Co-Dx PCR platform, including the Co-Dx MTB test kit, has the potential to play a transformative role in where, how, and how often TB testing occurs, especially following recently-announced guidance from the World Health Organization related to near-point-of-care molecular diagnostics and easy-to-collect tongue swabs," said Dwight Egan, CEO of Co-Diagnostics. "We believe this is a timely opportunity to present the platform to representatives from so many other global stakeholders at this Summit dedicated to stopping TB."

The Stop TB Partnership Summit is being organized to catalyze and engage U.S. private sector companies and innovators directly involved in the global fight against TB, providing a platform to connect with U.S. government agencies and reinforcing initiatives to help build a stronger collective pipeline of TB products, technologies, and partnerships.

The event is expected to highlight opportunities arising from the TB epidemic and identify methods to expand engagement in the global TB response. These efforts are intended to strengthen and broaden relationships between the public and private sectors and the Stop TB Partnership, supporting the development, evaluation and implementation of products aimed at helping end TB.

Last month, the Company shared that the World Health Organization ("WHO") recently released guidance related to near-point-of-care ("NPOC") molecular diagnostics and easy-to-collect tongue swabs for patients who cannot produce sputum samples, and that the Company's testing platform and Co-Dx MTB NPOC test* are already aligned with the WHO guidance.

*The Co-Dx PCR platform (including the PCR Home^®, PCR Pro^®, mobile app, and all associated tests) is subject to review by the FDA and/or other regulatory bodies and is not yet available for sale.
