Quidel Corporation and bioMerieux have agreed to form a long-term global alliance in the area of rapid clinical diagnostics for point-of-care.

The companies will especially leverage their mutual expertise in the area of infectious diseases.
bioMerieux will be the exclusive distributor of all of Quidel's current QuickVue rapid diagnostic tests in all countries with the exception of the United States, Japan and Scandinavia, starting in May 2008.
