Bio-Techne ExoDx Prostate Test At-Home Collection Kit

Apr 15, 2020

Bio-Techne has launched the Exosome Diagnostics ExoDx Prostate Test At-Home Collection Kit for patients who are concerned about their prostate health.

The ExoDx Prostate or EPI test is a urine-based genomic test that helps inform the prostate biopsy decision.

Due to shelter in place orders issued to reduce the spread of COVID-19, appointments have been cancelled for millions of men for important procedures such as biopsies to detect the presence of prostate cancer, the firm noted. The at-home collection kit enables physicians and their patients to employ a telehealth solution when patients share frustration, anxiety, and fear over whether they might harbor high-grade prostate cancer, Bio-Techne said.
