As scientists, engineers, clinical researchers and supply chain gurus, many moms across Detect have played an important role in developing our PCR-quality Covid-19 home test. Here's why Detect is the test they trust the most:
“With a newborn and a child in elementary school, it can be nerve wracking when my oldest is notified of an exposure at school. Our test, which I helped develop through overseeing our clinical studies, gives me such confidence and peace of mind. It’s the second best thing after sleep!” - Dr. Erin Girard, Head of Clinical Affairs, mom to 2 month old Lucy and 9 year old Rafi
"We have used Detect many times to test family and friends before they meet our son. Thanks to Detect, we were able to catch three cases of Covid before exposing our little one. Detect also gives us confidence before seeing elderly family members - something we value even more now after so much time apart." – Melissa Schreyer, Head of Biologics Technical Operations, mom to 9 month old Cameron
"I work at Detect because I believe in the mission and the people that are driving that mission on a daily basis. To be able to get fast and accurate Covid-19 results from the comfort of my own home and in my own time is remarkable. It’s super convenient, having the Hub and kits at home and not worrying about finding a test last minute." - Irina Umansky, Executive Assistant and Culture Glue, mom to 10 year old Lucas and 7 year old Victoria
"With grandparents who live close by, a busy preschooler and another baby on the way, we are constantly calculating our risks. Having Detect tests on hand makes nearly everything feel less stressful. The decision to send Vibhav to school was easier and less concerning, since we can easily test in case he’s exposed. Our test is fast, reliable, and so convenient - especially for busy parents, making my job of ensuring supply of Covid-19 tests that much more personal." - Kritika Malani, Head of Global Planning, mom to 3 year old Vibhav and baby #2 on the way
“I firmly believe in Detect’s mission to help make diagnostics accessible to everyone. Our work is directly making an impact, keeping our communities safe and empowering and educating people to make safer and healthier choices for themselves and their loved ones. Both my little ones are in daycare and were exposed to Covid from their classmates. We used the Detect test to test comfortably at home and identified it early on so that we could keep their immunocompromised grandparents safe. It’s simple, hassle-free, and most importantly, accurate– the last thing you want to do with little kids is to retest them multiple times!” - Jeanne Cho, Clinical Trial Manager, mom to 4 year old Evelyn and 1 year old Kaelyn
"As an empty nester, I have kids in college or enjoying their new jobs. As they travel, their bags are stocked with Detect tests so they can test before flying home, while they are on campus, or as they hang out with their friends and roommates. As a molecular biologist, it’s the only test I trust in high-stakes situations. Our customers who I talk to everyday also seek the peace of mind that our test brings them." - Varsha Pande, Head of Customer Success, mom to 19 year old Ruhi and 23 year old Apurv
"As a typical mom juggling work and life - in a pandemic! - it has been a game changer to have an accurate Covid test at home versus trying to get an appointment with the pediatrician when dealing with otherwise mild symptoms. So convenient and reassuring to get reliable results fast." - Nikki Bustamante, Government and Education Partnerships Manager, mom to 6 year old Annabelle, 4 year old Reina, and 1 year old Flora
To all the soon-to-be-moms, new moms, moms of littles, moms of too-cool teens, and moms of moms, enjoy your Mother’s Day. You deserve it.
