OvaCis Rapid Test promises rapid discrimination between benign and malignant epithelial ovarian cysts within 15 minutes.

With regulatory approval from the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) in Singapore, OvaCis Rapid Test is now positioned to revolutionize intraoperative diagnostics for women undergoing ovarian cyst surgery across Asia and beyond.
