EX-99.2

Chembio to Commercialize Family of DPP^® Malaria Assays

MEDFORD, N.Y., Nov. 3, 2015 -- Chembio Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CEMI), a leader in point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tests for infectious diseases, today announced plans to commercialize multiple combination DPP^® Malaria Assays to identify plasmodium falciparum and other plasmodium infections.

The Company recently completed an externally-funded project comparing the new DPP^® Malaria Assay developed by Chembio during the first half of 2015 to the world's leading currently-available POC malaria assay. Based on initial testing, Chembio's recently-developed DPP^® Malaria Assay met the major objective of the feasibility project: a ten-fold improvement in sensitivity.

Given these results, Chembio plans to develop and commercialize a family of DPP^® Malaria Assays, including both the DPP^® Malaria-Ebola Assay developed by Chembio under a research collaboration agreement with the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention (CDC), and also a DPP^® Fever Panel Assay to be developed by Chembio under a twelve-month grant from the Paul G. Allen Ebola Program.

Javan Esfandiari, Chembio's Chief Science & Technology Officer, commented, "The results of Chembio's malaria feasibility work demonstrate the advantages of our DPP^® technology in providing the high sensitivity required to identify the parasite infection at very low levels. In only six months, we created a DPP^® Malaria Assay that can compete against the world's leading POC malaria products."

John Sperzel, Chembio's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are extremely pleased with the performance of the DPP^® Malaria Assay and believe it will  provide healthcare workers with a new advantage in fighting this serious fever disease.  Based on these results, we are aggressively working toward the development and launch of a new suite of DPP^® Malaria Assays, including DPP^® Malaria-Ebola Assay, which we expect to begin field-testing in West Africa in 2015, and DPP^® Fever Panel Assay (Malaria, Dengue, Ebola, Lassa, Marburg, Chikungunya), which is expected to be ready for field testing in 12 months."

About Malaria

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2014 World Malaria Report, malaria occurs in nearly 100 countries and in all six WHO regions. Globally, an estimated 3.2 billion people are at risk of being infected with malaria and developing the disease, and 1.2 billion are at high risk. According to the latest estimate, 198 million cases of malaria occurred in 2013, and sales of rapid diagnostic tests for malaria (i.e., point-of-care tests) reached 319 million tests (up from 46 million tests in 2008). The burden is heaviest in the WHO African Region, where an estimated 90% of all malaria deaths occur, and where children under five years of age account for 78% of all deaths.
