Fujirebio Europe upgrades its HPV (Human Papillomavirus) genotyping panel with the launch of the INNO-LiPA® HPV Genotyping Extra II assay
“With this upgrade of the existing INNO-LiPA® HPV Genotyping Extra test Fujirebio Europe continues to confirm its position as one of the world leaders in strip-based diagnostic solutions,” said Christiaan De Wilde, CEO at Fujirebio Europe. Cervical cancer is the 2nd most common cancer among women worldwide, and HPV infection is one of the central causes of cervical cancer. HPV genotyping is therefore a part of good gynecological care and is also an important and reliable diagnostic tool for successful management of patients infected with HPV,” said Geert Jannes, Principal Scientist at Fujirebio Europe. “Our new INNO-LiPA® HPV Genotyping Extra II test provides maximal HPV type-specific information to clinicians and patients allowing an optimal and complete clinical follow up.”
The new INNO-LiPA® HPV Genotyping Extra II assay has an extended typing capability of 32 HPV genotypes, including 13 High Risk (HR) genotypes and 6 potential HR types. The new kit has converted to full genotype specific probes, an upgraded primer set resulting in improved sensitivity (comparable for all HR genotypes), and provides a ready-to-use amplification reagent.
