The system began patient testing Nov 2, initially focusing on vitamin and hormone assays, with plans to expand into therapeutic drug monitoring and toxicology.
The deal adds a specialty laboratory focused on drug testing and surveillance to Labcorp's national network.
The kit allows laboratories to extract DNA and RNA from a range of clinical specimens using a single method.
The research-use-only assay combines two key genetic markers for acute myeloid leukemia in a single test, potentially reducing the need for separate testing workflows and reference lab send-outs.
