Bio-Techne Corporation (NASDAQ: TECH) today announced a strategic partnership with ALZpath, Inc to accelerate breakthroughs in neurodegenerative disease research and treatment, including Alzheimer's disease. The collaboration leverages Bio-Techne's Ella™ fully automated, multiplexing immunoassay platform and ALZpath's proprietary pTau217 antibody to provide the Simple Plex Human Phospho-Tau (T217) ALZpath Assay.

bioMérieux, a world leader in the field of in vitro diagnostics, announces the CE-marking of VIDAS® VITAMIN B12 TOTAL, an automated quantitative test for use on the VIDAS® immunoassay instruments, for the measurement of total Vitamin B12 concentration in human serum or plasma.

Agappe Diagnostics Ltd., India’s leading In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) manufacturer, has announced its partnership with Fujirebio Holdings Inc. of Japan to unveil the first “Make in India” In-Vitro Biomarkers using CLEIA (Chemiluminescent Enzyme Immunoassay) technology.

H.U. Group Holdings Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Fujirebio today announced the availability of the Lumipulse G GFAP assay for the fully automated, random-access LUMIPULSE® G immunoassay systems. The Research Use Only (RUO) assay is now available in the United States, and it will be available in Japan, Europe and other regions* as of September this year. The Chemiluminescent Enzyme Immunoassay (CLEIA) test allows for the quantitative measurement of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in human plasma and serum in just 35 minutes.

With the application of the latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetry and the enzyme immunoassay amplification, the sensitivity of biochemical test items is greatly improved. Representative products applied in the biochemical technology platform in 2019-2020 are as follows:

QuidelOrtho announced Wednesday that it has received approval from Health Canada to market the firm's Triage PLGF test. The test detects a biomarker that can indicate the likelihood of a pregnant person developing preterm preeclampsia.

French diagnostics firm Sebia said Thursday that it has received US Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for its FLC Kappa and Lambda assays.

If Chinese chemiluminescence would eventually replace imported products completely, it must ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results. In addition to the improvement of equipment system and methodology, the accuracy of results will involve two very core competitions in the future.

The analyzer will develop in two directions as per different customer needs and application scenarios.

Immunoassay is the largest subdivision in in vitro diagnosis and is in rapid develop-ment, in which chemiluminescence has gradually replaced enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay as the mainstream immune diagnosis in China.
