Baebies Announces Partnership with Trivitron's Labsystems Diagnostics to Bring Latest Technologies to Newborn Screening Worldwide
Customers to benefit from more high quality newborn screening platforms.
Durham, NC, September 08, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Baebies, a company focused on advancing newborn screening and pediatric testing, today announced that it has signed a bilateral distribution agreement with Trivitron’s Labsystems Diagnostics Oy to deliver a wider range of newborn screening solutions across several global markets. Baebies will distribute Labsystems’ newborn screening products in the U.S. after obtaining regulatory clearance, while Labsystems will distribute Baebies’ SEEKER® platform internationally; SEEKER is FDA authorized and CE marked. SEEKER is a high throughput laboratory solution for newborn screening and is currently configured to perform testing for certain lysosomal storage diseases.
Labsystems is a global leader in the field of newborn screening solutions. NeoMass AAAC is used with Tandem Mass Spectrometry to detect concentrations of amino acids, free carnitine, acylcarnitines, succinylacetone and argininosuccinic acid. NS 2400 is a fully integrated robotic high throughput platform to perform enzymatic assays and immunoassays. Both are CE marked and commercialized in many parts of the world.
“At this time, our newborn screening customers have only a single solution for many of their newborn screening tests. This exciting partnership allows us to offer the latest solutions and to provide a comprehensive offering to our growing customer base,” said Richard West, co-founder and CEO of Baebies. “This partnership furthers our mission to ensure that every baby gets a healthy start by bringing innovative and cost-effective solutions to benefit babies everywhere,” added Vamsee Pamula, PhD, co-founder and President of Baebies.
In the wake of FDA authorization and CE marking, there has been a tremendous surge of interest in Baebies’ SEEKER platform from around the world. This first distribution agreement for Baebies enables the expansion of the company’s offering in the United States and provides a means to reach other parts of the world with its products. Baebies is committed to delivering innovative products and services to expand current options for newborn screening and pediatric testing. The company is also developing FINDER(TM), a rapid near-patient testing solution that uses low blood volume to quickly perform time critical tests. Baebies recently announced the launch panel for FINDER to include tests for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), total serum bilirubin, albumin and direct bilirubin on a single cartridge for hyperbilirubinemia.
“We are thrilled to add the SEEKER platform to our suite of newborn screening products. Overall this partnership will greatly benefit newborn screening labs across the world by providing a more comprehensive menu of newborn screening solutions for multiple types of assays,” said Nikhil Bedekar, President of Labsystems Diagnostics Oy.
Baebies and Labsystems will be exhibiting together at the upcoming APHL Newborn Screening and Genetic Testing Symposium during September 10-13 in New Orleans, USA. For more information on Baebies and Labsystems, visit www.baebies.com and www.labsystemsdx.com.
