Proceeds from the placement will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes, including commercialization of the firm's ICE COLD-PCR technology.
The partners will augment the multiplexing capabilities of ICE COLD-PCR, which was developed at Dana-Farber and is exclusively licensed to Transgenomic.
The lower sales from contract laboratory services reflect Transgenomic's continued refocusing on its core ICE-COLD PCR molecular diagnostic technology.
Adstec will assume the business, financial, and human resource commitments of the business and pay Transgenomic $300,000 for stock and inventory related to the business.
The deal covers four of Transgenomic's liquid biopsy cancer assays, which detect actionable mutations associated with sensitivity or resistance to therapy.
