Oct 04, 2018

Precipio this week commercially launched HemeScreen, a test for mutations in hematologic cancers. The test measures for mutations in the CALR, JAK2, JAK2 exon 12, and MPL genes, which are critically important to developing the clinical roadmap for the patient, Precipio said. The company will offer the assay through its CLIA laboratory in New Haven, Connecticut, and will also offer a set of RUO reagents to other reference labs to perform the test in their CLIA laboratories.
