immune system diseases

Blueprint Genetics, recently acquired by Quest Diagnostics in January, will base the 600-gene panel on its whole-exome sequencing capability.

An international group of researchers aim to develop an approach that may be able to diagnose multiple conditions, including pneumonia, tuberculosis, sepsis, with one blood sample.

ProciseDx anticipates bringing rapid, quantitative point-of-care tests to market in 2020 using Lumiphore's metal luminescent reporter technology.

The firm anticipates deploying funds to complete the integration of Biosensia, a developer of multi-analyte assays on a CLIA-waived testing platform.

Kypha develops tests for monitoring immune status and inflammation, while Biosensia's RapiPlex system can run simultaneous multiplex testing up to 24 analytes.

Dendritics develops antibodies against immune system and other cells for the discovery of targets with high diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential.

The three firms each had 510(k) clearances for multiple products from the FDA last month for marketing.

The company's new FACSLyric flow cytometer system is for use with BD Multitest assays for assessing suspected immunological deficiencies in patients.
