Zachary Antovich, President and CEO of Linkage Biosciences, presented data at the conference showing the test can be run in 10 minutes of hands-on time and 90 minutes of total test time. Current methods of HLA typing require approximately two hours or more of hands-on time and three hours or more of total test time.
"Linkage is making steady progress, and providing this expanded set of HLA genes is an important step in our development," said Mr. Antovich. "Combined with our programs in companion diagnostics and genetic diseases such as Celiac Disease testing, we are building a broad offering of tests that meet the requirements of our customers."
