AdvancedDx Biological Laboratories (ABL) has entered a co-marketing agreement with Complete Genomics to integrate and promote ABL’s microbiology assays with Complete Genomics' next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. While financial terms were not disclosed, the partnership aims to combine ABL's DeepChek assays and software with Complete Genomics’ DNBSeq sequencing platforms for the detection of infectious diseases such as HIV, viral hepatitis, respiratory viruses, and tuberculosis.
This collaboration will offer microbiology laboratories a wide array of NGS-based infectious disease assays using Complete Genomics' low-throughput sequencing platforms, including the DNBSeq-E25 and DNBSeq-G99. Radoje Drmanac, Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Complete Genomics, expressed excitement about the partnership, noting that it will provide laboratories with enhanced diagnostic capabilities for infectious disease detection through advanced sequencing technology.
