Designed for small and medium-sized labs, the system offers automated blood typing and screening based on gel card technology with minimum user intervention.

The test is immunoassay-based and detects multiple targets using the firm's automated testing system called the BioPlex 2200.

The number of gainers outpaced decliners 21 to six, and the index outpaced the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Nasdaq Composite, and the Nasdaq Biotech.

BioMérieux received clearance for its Vitek 2 gram-negative susceptibility card as a test used to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of certain aerobic bacilli.

The company's full-year revenues rose 6 percent and were slightly higher than the consensus Wall Street estimate.

The test is for monitoring treatment response in chronic myeloid leukemia and uses a new Droplet Digital PCR instrument.

The kit, which was launched today, leverages real-time RT-PCR technology to detect and quantify hepatitis C virus-specific RNA with genotypes 1 to 6.

The project builds on a collaboration between Bio-Rad and Genetic Analysis using the GA-map clinical test for gut dysbiosis.
