FREE-25OH VITAMIN D ELISA ASSAY

With this unique assay DIAsource consolidates its position as a provider of specialty assays in the Vitamin D testing market. DIAsource manufactures the only commercially available assay to measure this free fraction of 25OH Vitamin D. It will be launched into the IVD market at the AACC.

The interest in measuring 25OH Vitamin D keeps growing worldwide reaching a total market value of 1.2 billion USD in 2016 (TechNavia). Recent studies have suggested measuring the free fraction of 25OH Vitamin D rather than the total 25OH Vitamin D (as other assays do) can be more diagnostically relevant in certain conditions (pregnancy, chronic kidney disease, liver failure, bladder and pancreatic cancer, or in hemodialysis patients). Anteo Group CEO Jef Vangenechten said, “The AACC is a great event to promote Anteo and DIAsource products to the market. During this year’s event in particular Anteo is presenting new products that have very targeted applications. We believe that these products are a new milestone for Anteo’s technology as they prove that the chemistry can be applied across the diversity of surface materials used in the IVD POC industry. This will allow Anteo to continue building a product portfolio that better addresses unmet customer needs. The DIAsource Free-25OH Vitamin D assay is a unique assay. With the launch at AACC we expect that more interest in this marker by reference laboratories may give a boost to its world-wide routine use.”

Unique and apparently worth bank rolling through a commercialisation grant - got to love the reference to pregnancy as a "condition". Bit of that going around on an annual basis!
