China Biotech Services subsidiary AMDL nominated as Top Clinical Laboratory
Services Company in APAC 2022 and receives CAP Accreditation Certificate
HONG KONG, Jan 10, 2023 - (ACN Newswire) - China Biotech Services Holdings
Limited (the "Group"; stock code: 8037. HK) has announced that its subsidiary,
Asia Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory (AMDL), has been nominated as the Top
Clinical Laboratory Services Company in APAC 2022 and has received the College
of American Pathologists (CAP) Accreditation Certificate for providing next-
generation sequencing (NGS) Oncology clinical testing services.
With world-leading NGS-based clinical testing products and services for
oncologists and a high-standard molecular-level clinical laboratory, and as the
sole distributor of Pillar Biosciences products in Asia, it's no surprise that
AMDL has been named one of the industry's Top Clinical Laboratory Services
Companies in APAC 2022 by Life Sciences Review.
In addition, AMDL has recently received the Accreditation Certificate from CAP,
which is recognized as one of the industry's leaders in medical laboratory
quality assurance. It has developed detailed checklists for all aspects of
clinical laboratory disciplines and has strict requirements for laboratory
quality standards. AMDL obtaining the authoritative certification from CAP
proves that the company has reached an advanced level in terms of quality,
management mode, testing accuracy and other aspects.
By leveraging next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology and FDA-approved
companion diagnostic (CDx), namely the oncoReveal(TM) Dx Lung and Colon Cancer
Assay and MiSeqDx developed by Pillar Biosciences, AMDL will provide precision
diagnostic tests for the qualitative detection of somatic mutations in DNA
derived from lung and colon cancer tumors. Working toward CAP accreditation,
the AMDL platform can offer a simplified and standalone testing workflow that
helps local healthcare professionals, oncologists, and researchers obtain
results in seven to nine working days, significantly reducing the overall
timeline.
The CAP certification also provides a good endorsement for AMDL to promote the
test kit in Hong Kong and Asia on a large scale, which is conducive to the
rapid commercialization of the test kit and brings new achievements to China
Biotech Services.
