(Yicai Global) April 7 -- Shares in Beijing Bohui Innovation Technology hit the 10 percent up limit in trading today after the firm announced that it had secured CE certification for several of its Covid-19 detection products.

Its stock [SHE:300318] had hit CNY5.48 (77 US cents) by 10.55 a.m. and remained there until closing.

Bohui's nucleic acid detection kit, antibody detection kit and automated nucleic acid detector for Covid-19 have all obtained a CE certificate, allowing for sales in the European Union, the company said in a statement on April 3, when markets closed for a three-day weekend due to the Qingming Festival. The firm also got certification for a product not related to Covid-19.

Obtaining the certificate will have a positive impact on future operations, the statement said, without forecasting the products' market prospects.
