Novir

Novir is a Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based healthcare and biotechnology company founded in 2020. It describes itself as an emerging diagnostic biotechnology company that delivers smart, fast and flexible testing solutions supported by reliable, cost-effective screening products and best-in-class technology. The company’s stated focus is a pre-care pathway — placing emphasis on proactive measures and prevention rather than waiting for a diagnosis.

Novir’s service portfolio spans drug testing, occupational health, lead testing, early childhood and senior vaccinations, telehealth, biometrics and on-site health solutions. Its work is aimed at employers, senior living communities and other organizations that need accessible health and screening services for their employees and residents.

A central product is InstaCLEAR, which Novir describes as a fully observed virtual drug and alcohol testing platform. The company positions InstaCLEAR as delivering faster results, greater convenience and a better employee experience for pre-employment, random and post-incident testing programs, and it has promoted the offering at industry events including SHRM and NDASA.

Novir also provides on-site vaccination clinics. The company says it handles registration and consent collection, clinic-day execution and reporting, with the goal of removing administrative burden from client teams. It has served senior living and assisted living organizations through such clinics, and publicly describes its onsite vaccine services as simple, efficient and accessible for communities.

The company’s background is closely tied to the COVID-19 pandemic. Novir was founded in early 2020, and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services approved it as a COVID-19 vaccine provider, enabling it to schedule in-house vaccination clinics for area companies and other employers. At the time, Novir said its approach was to bring vaccinations to employers to speed up vaccination and support a safe return to normal operations.

Novir has also been noted for innovation. Lifted by efforts to manufacture and distribute antibody tests, the company won the top prize in Wisconsin’s 2020 Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. “We’re All Innovating” Awards, and it has been featured as a startup to watch by several publications. Its founders and leaders have appeared on industry panels discussing the importance of testing during the pandemic.

Across its materials, Novir frames its mission around empowering individuals to take charge of their health through innovative services and technologies that enable a pre-care pathway for anyone, anywhere, anytime. Its publicly stated purpose is captured in the phrase “Caring for Tomorrow.” The company is privately held and reports a workforce in the range of 51 to 200 people.

The company maintains offices in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Centennial, Colorado, and its website and privacy policy list publicly available contact channels for general and business inquiries. Novir, LLC is the legal entity referenced in its published privacy documentation.
