Behind the science

Research studies

The accuracy and efficacy of Cue’s diagnostic capabilities have been put to the test by some of the most reputable researchers in the industry.

Mayo Clinic conducted an independent study of Cue’s COVID-19 test in a point-of-care setting,

comparing the accuracy of results with lab-based PCR tests.

97.8% of Cue’s results matched those of the PCR tests in the Mayo Clinic study.
