HP worked closely with leading researchers at Harvard University and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to assist with gathering test data and refining 3D printed nasopharyngeal test swab designs, materials, and printing capacity. The Abiogenix spiral swab, 3D printed by FATHOM, using HP MJF technology, was one of four swab prototypes—selected after the review of more than 100 designs—that showed excellent concordance with the controls in the IRB-approved clinical trial. The Abiogenix swab is readily available to the US medical industry and testing centers.
