Color’s COVID-19 Research Platform

Color’s scalable, large population testing infrastructure and integrated software platform advance COVID-19 vaccine research and epidemiological and observational studies.

Download Overview

A Platform for Large-Scale, Decentralized COVID-19 Research and Trials

1.

High-throughput, virology testing infrastructure, supporting self-swab sample collection for scalability & remote access

2.

Intuitive, easy-to-use digital experience for enrollment, data collection and reporting

3.

Modular research platform to simplify operations and launches of epidemiological studies, surveillance, and vaccine trial research

Distributed testing infrastructure delivers fast, clinical-grade results

EUA from FDA for clinician-monitored and self-swab COVID-19 testing

Color received an EUA for monitored and self-collection testing, and uses an RT- LAMP diagnostic assay (EUA200539) that relies on a different supply chain than standard RT-PCR, reducing reliance on more expensive materials in short supply.

Fast turnaround

Color operates a high-throughput, CLIA-certified lab, processing thousands of tests in CAP daily, for fast, accurate results, averaging a 24-hour turnaround.1

Easy, flexible collection methods

Comfortable anterior nares (AN) swab, clinician-administered, monitored, or self-swab sample collection. Available for in-office or at-home use, with easy-to-follow instructions.

Intuitive Digital User Experience

User-friendly experience

A simple enrollment, consent, and communication process. Customizable content to support program-specific instructions and communications.

Easily manage multiple testing protocols 

Support for multiple testing protocols and dynamic testing frequencies for sub-populations, easily modified and managed automatically.

Built-in data privacy and protections

An intuitive, HIPAA-compliant user interface for data collection, return of results and reporting to public health departments, researchers, and other relevant entities.
