The COVID-19 pandemic created an unprecedented global health crisis. Millions have been affected as healthcare systems and professionals have faced newly uncovered challenges all around the world. Yet in response to these extraordinary and uncertain times, resilience, teamwork and entrepreneurship have come together to find innovative ways to care for, diagnose and better protect the world’s population. One area where this is still apparent is within the diagnostics industry, which has been propelled to the front line in the ongoing fight against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Amcor's patented Dessiflex® packaging technology supports the protection and usability of IVD and POC test devices by incorporating the desiccant into the packaging’s sealant layer, eliminating the need for additional moisture scavengers. By removing the need for additional desiccant materials, this solution also has sustainability benefits, the packaging's carbon footprint can lower by up to 32% versus a similar pack of the same size.
