FAIRFIELD, N.J., Oct. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Vela Diagnostics announced today a research collaboration with SRL Inc, a premier Japanese healthcare service company. This partnership aims to facilitate the distribution of Vela Diagnostics' cutting-edge molecular diagnostic solutions in Japan.
Established in 1970, SRL Inc (a subsidiary of H.U Group Holdings Inc.), is a renowned clinical laboratory testing company in Japan with over 80 nationwide business bases, SRL Inc specializes in complex testing and serving prestigious customers, providing diagnostic solutions for diseases, treatment planning, monitoring post-treatment prognosis, and health checkups.
The research collaboration agreement (RCA) between Vela Diagnostics and SRL Inc was signed in June 2023, marking a significant milestone in their shared commitments to advancing healthcare solutions in Japan. Vela Diagnostics aims to capitalize on SRL Inc's comprehensive distribution network and market understanding, enabling the company to introduce its Sentosa SQ HIV-1 Genotyping Assay Kit to Japanese healthcare and diagnostic institutions.
Dr Tony Zhang, Head of Research and Development at Vela Diagnostics, states that SRL Inc has begun feasibility studies for the Sentosa SQ HIV-1 Genotyping Assay Kit. "The Sentosa SQ HIV-1 Genotyping Assay is VELA's premier solution for automated Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) of HIV-1, granted FDA DeNovo designation in 2019," explained Dr Zhang.
