Fujirebio Diagnostics, Inc., a consolidated subsidiary of Miraca Holdings Inc., has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of the company’s Lumipulse® G1200 CA19-9-N assay for testing on its LUMIPULSE® G1200 immunoassay platform.

Fujirebio Diagnostics, Inc., a consolidated subsidiary of Miraca Holdings Inc., has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of the company’s Lumipulse® G1200 CA19-9-N assay for testing on its LUMIPULSE® G1200 immunoassay platform.

The assay is to be used as an aid in the management of patients diagnosed with cancer of the exocrine pancreas who have detectable levels of CA 19-9 at some point in their disease.

The LUMIPULSE® G1200 CA19-9-N immunoassay 

  • Has an extended measuring range to 80,000 U/ml with auto dilution capability
  • Minimizes waste through the single dose cartridge system
  • Offers excellent precision with a CV of ≤5.7 %

“The combination of the unique single cartridge reagent system and extended measuring range up to 80,000 U/mL will allow laboratories, even those with lower volumes, to economically run CA 19-9 in-house, eliminate send-out costs and reduce turnaround time,” says Matthew Bell, Vice President Sales and Marketing at Fujirebio, US.
