PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ImpriMed, Inc., a leading functional precision medicine company in veterinary oncology that provides a personalized drug response profiling service today announced the additional diagnostic services to their most advanced functional precision medicine service for canine hematopoietic cancers. ImpriMed now offers separate stand-alone immunophenotyping service via flow cytometry and clonality testing by PARR (PCR for Antigen Receptor Rearrangement) firmly cementing the biotech startup in the veterinary diagnostic support space.
“This is another major step for ImpriMed,” said Sungwon Lim, CEO and Co-Founder of ImpriMed; “by adding these well-known entry-level diagnostic services to our product line, we meet the need of those who only want, or can only afford, a diagnostic service and at the same time lower the investment for veterinary oncologists and patient owners to try out our lab services more affordably. This will give them confidence in the quality of our team and service and may eventually lead to use of other ImpriMed services.”
There are three levels of immunophenotyping and clonality testing services, in addition to the Personalized Prediction Profile that offers all the combined information from AI-driven in vivo drug response predictions, Flow Cytometry, and PARR.
- Comprehensive Immunoprofiling by Flow Cytometry and PARR
- Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry
- Clonality testing by PARR (PCR for Antigen Receptor Rearrangement)
ImpriMed validated their flow cytometry and PARR test results for known samples: Of the 282 known samples, the team confirmed that they are 100% identical to the other reference labs.
ImpriMed started receiving clinical samples in 2019 to build their personalized drug-response-prediction profiling services for dogs with cancer. They have now run well over 6,000 tests and assays, which makes them one of the fastest-growing, experienced, immuno-diagnostic veterinary laboratories in the USA. ImpriMed has registered service codes for all three of their services listed above at some of the largest specialty hospital groups, including VCA and BluePearl.
