Medison Pharma Ltd. And Cepheid Sign Agreement: Automated Genetic Testing Systems For The Israeli Market

Medison Pharma has signed an agreement with Cepheid for exclusive representation of its on-demand molecular diagnostics products in Israel, GeneXpert.

Meir Jakobsohn, President of Medison Pharma, welcomes the development as a natural progression: “This agreement is another part of our continued efforts to import the most innovative diagnostic products. There is no doubt that in the future, these products will replace the conservative testing methods currently available.”
