NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Great Basin Scientific has launched an enhanced version of its original molecular diagnostics platform, making it smaller, faster, and less expensive, according to the firm.

The company's molecular tests were also the subject of three posters presented at the American Society of Microbiology annual meeting earlier this month.

All of Great Basin's assays are compatible with the new enhanced system, Sandra Nielsen, senior vice president of sales, marketing, and human resources at Great Basin, told GenomeWeb in an interview.
