Devyser Diagnostics AB has entered an in vitro diagnostic development agreement with Illumina, Inc. (Nasdaq: ILMN). The agreement enables Devyser to develop and offer its in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests on Illumina MiSeqDx next-generation sequencing (NGS) instrument in the United States and Europe.

The IVD development agreement allows Devyser to perform regulatory registrations of its tests on Illumina MiSeqDx sequencing instrument. The agreement confirms Illumina's commitment to support Devyser in its registrations and enables Devyser to develop end-to-end IVD approved NGS testing solutions on the FDA regulated and CE-IVD–marked MiSeqDx sequencing platform.

"With this agreement, we are taking an important step towards giving more laboratories access to Devyser’s simple, fast, and effective genetic testing solutions, and to provide patients with the best possible care." says Fredrik Alpsten, Devyser CEO. "Illumina are a natural partner to us, with their market-leading position and ever-growing base of installed NGS IVD instruments.”

“We are very pleased to partner with Devyser to enable the development of end-to-end, clinical NGS testing solutions,” says Joydeep Goswami, Chief Strategy and Corporate Development Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Illumina. “We believe that together we will help to broaden market access to NGS solutions that enable patients and physicians to make better informed and timely decisions.”

Illumina MiSeqDx System is the first FDA–regulated, CE-IVD–marked, NGS platform for IVD testing. With regulatory approvals in over 50 countries, MiSeqDx has become a trusted platform for hospitals and clinical laboratories running a menu of high-quality diagnostic tests.
