Ustar Biotechnologies (Hangzhou) Ltd.

INTRODUCTION

Ustar Biotechnologies was established in 2005, dedicated to the research,


development, manufacturing and sales of innovative POCT molecular diagnostic
products. Our vision is to make molecular tests available to anyone, anywhere, as
stated in our company slogan: “Molecular testing, anywhere!”

Ustar’s efforts were recognized by national government and organizations, won many
national grants and awards, and our COVID-19 nucleic acid tests were approved by
the Chinese FDA under the emergency use authorization.

We were also recognized by international organizations: We participate in the Bill &


Melinda Gates Foundation’s “Grand Challenges in Global Health” program, and won
2 major grants from the Foundation for developments of POCT molecular diagnostics
for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Polio.

In addition to the grants, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation also invested Ustar by a
“Program Related Investment (PRI)”, and become one of Ustar’s shareholders.

Ustar has filed 48 patents, and has been granted 35 of them, including many from
world intellectual property organization (PCT).

Our platform technologies and products were also recognized by WHO, FIND
(Foundation for Innovative and New Diagnostics) and UNITAID (information available
upon request).
Ustar has developed novel molecular technology platforms for the diagnosis of
infectious diseases.

We have developed 2 nucleic acid diagnostic systems for the detection of


COVID-19:

1. Traditional real-time RT-PCR. We developed the RT-PCR reagents that can be


used at any existing real-time fluorescence PCR instruments the customers may
have. Or we can provide low cost instruments, 48 or 96 reaction formats available.
We can also provide small, low cost RNA auto-extraction instrument.

2. An integrated, automated system, The EasyNAT2.0 platform, consists of an


instrument and a disposable cartridge. “Sample-in, result-out”. Assay to result
time is 80 minutes, including sample lysis, RNA extraction, target amplification and
real time fluorescent detection. All performed in a closed cartridge, automatically.
All reagents, including enzymes, are pre-loaded. The user need only add samples.
After the addition of samples, the entire process will be performed automatically in
a closed cartridge, therefore reduces the operator’s risk of infection, and the risk
of false positive caused by aerosol cross-contamination. The reagents are
glassified (dehydrated), and can be transported at ambient temperatures. The
operation is very simple. The operator can use this system with 30 minutes of
training. It is a low throughput machine: 2 samples at one time, can deal with
around 10 patients a day per instrument.

Products 2 were developed according to WHO’s “ASSURED” guidance:

Affordable: The consumable and the machine costs are just fractions of
comparable products
Sensitive: Around 95% compared with clinical diagnosis
Specificity: Nearly 100% in the clinical studies and Lab analysis
User Friendly: Manual operation is very simple, requires about 30 minute training
Rapid: The entire process is approximately 80 minutes, including sample
lysis, RNA extraction, amplification & Detection
Equipment-free: there are instruments to reduce manual operations. But they are
small and low costs.
Deliverable: No cold train needed. The glassified reagents (including enzymes)
can be transported at any ambient temperature.

In addition, the system is safe to use: all assay procedures occurs in a closed
cartridge. No aerosol is generated or leaked during the operation, therefor greatly
reduces the operator's risk of infection, and prevent false positive by cross
contamination.

Our COVID-19 nucleic acid tests have obtained regulatory approvals from the
Chinese FDA (registration number: 国械注准 20203400241) and Singapore
government(Authorization number: MDPA2020-10).

The US FDA EUA application is accepted (EUA #: PEUA200021) and WHO EUL
application is under review process (ref: a0B1r00001DfEDt).

Ǐ Test Principleǐ
The 2019-nCoV- cartridge in this kit is equipped with multiple hydrophobic separation layers to
isolate the lysate, cleaning solution and reaction solution in the cartridge. Controlled by an external
instrument, the extract is chemically cracked at high temperatures to test the sample and release the
nucleic acid. Through the magnetic permeability of the external instrument, the nucleic acid of the
specimen used for detection passes through different liquid layers, and finally the nucleic acid is
eluded in the cartridge leg and the expansion reaction
occurs, so as to realize the "one tube" full-automatic
nucleic acid analysis, that is, the cleavage binding,
cleaning, elution and amplification reaction are
completed in a closed test tube.
This kit used Crossing Priming Amplification
(CPA1) to detect ORF1ab and N gene sequences specific
to the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Through specific
amplification primers, specific fluorescent probes and
DNA polymerases with high activity of reverse
transcriptase and chain displacement characteristic, the reaction system can complete the specific
amplification process of novel coronavirus fragments at a single time at a constant temperature, and
the fluorescence signal is detected by adaptive instruments and real-time fluorescence curve is

2
automatically generated.

The 2019-nCoV- cartridge is include an internal standard (IC),which consists of a CPA system
that specifically detects human GAPDH mRNA to monitor the effectiveness of sampling, extraction,
purification, and amplification reactions. 2019-nCoV- cartridge is pre-loaded with nucleic acid
purification reagents, nucleic acid elution reagents and CPA reaction reagents. Before starting the
instrument, the user only needs to add 2019-nCoV-RNA extract and the sample to be tested, and the
RNA in the sample can be purified automatically under the control of the adaptive instrument. After
the purified RNA and CPA reaction reagent are mixed and heated by the adaptive instrument, the
constant temperature expansion will be carried out, and the fluorescence probe will specifically bind
to the target to produce fluorescence signal. The instrument can collect the fluorescence signal in
real time and analyze the change of the fluorescence signal to determine the test result automatically.
