genedrive recently announced it had signed a distribution agreement with Sysmex Europe GmbH, a subsidiary of Sysmex Corporation, for the Genedrive® HCV ID Kit and the Genedrive® platform in the EMEA region with an initial focus on Africa, with the rest of the EMEA region to follow. Working together, the companies will focus on securing the required regulatory approvals in individual territories of Africa and genedrive anticipates commercial traction during the 2017/2018 financial year.
The Genedrive® HCV assay is performed on the Genedrive® instrument, an innovative and affordable system providing molecular diagnostics at the point of need. The proprietary assay is performed directly from a small, 30ul plasma sample and does not require a separate viral nucleic acid extraction process. The assay provides results within 90 minutes from lyophilised PCR reagents packaged into a single-use, disposable cartridge.
Come and see Genedrive® HCV ID Kit in action at the Sysmex booth, 30, or for further information visit www.genedrive.com.
