NEW YORK – PerkinElmer has started targeting laboratories in different geographies with its Vanadis system for noninvasive prenatal cell-free DNA testing, following the publication of a European clinical validation study this summer. Earlier this month, the company also started accepting clinical samples at its laboratory in the US and an affiliate laboratory in Malaysia, allowing potential customers to familiarize themselves with the technology prior to making a purchase decision. In parallel, the company continues to collaborate with a US hospital on another clinical validation study.
