Tecan announces OEM agreement with DiaSorin

tecanThe Tecan Group (SIX Swiss Exchange: TECN) today announced an OEM agreement with DiaSorin for the supply of a fully automated clinical ELISA platform and certain detection instruments to be used in conjunction with DiaSorin's MUREX product line for the diagnosis of HIV, HCV and HBV infections. The OEM agreement covers all countries of the world, excluding the United States of America.

The system is based on Tecan's reliable Freedom EVOlyzer® clinical ELISA platform with an integrated Tecan Sunrise(TM) absorbance reader and a HydroFlex(TM) microplate washer. Additional Tecan detection instruments covered by the agreement include the Infinite® F50 absorbance reader and the ProfiBlot(TM) 48 instrument for Western Blotting. Tecan will also supply DiaSorin with plastic consumables as an integral part of the validated system. Tecan expects to ship first instruments for the commercial launch to DiaSorin in early 2011. Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.

In the past, Tecan supplied a first generation fully automated ELISA platform for the MUREX product line to Abbott. In June 2010, DiaSorin completed the acquisition of the MUREX product line from Abbott.
