PR Newswire (US)
First CRO to Offer GLP-Compliant Assay Services Using BioVeris'
M-SERIES GAITHERSBURG, Md. and SALT LAKE CITY, July 19
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BioVeris Corporation (NASDAQ:BIOV) and
Tandem Laboratories, a leading contract research organization (CRO)
providing bioanalytical and immunoanalytical testing to the
pharmaceutical industry, announced today that Tandem is the first
CRO to offer Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) compliant assay
services using BioVeris' products. Tandem acquired the BioVeris
M-SERIES(R) Analyzer, reagents and BioVerification training to
expand their offering of premiere assay technologies for
biotechnology and pharmaceutical customers. Tandem already offers
traditional ELISA assay services and wanted to add new methods that
offered greater sensitivity, dynamic range and drug tolerance for
GLP- compliant immunogenicity testing. Tandem's Vice President and
General Manager of the Biomarker and Immunoanalytical Division, Ira
DuBey, said, "We chose BioVeris' assay platform to complement our
other methodologies for its advantages in assay performance,
especially in pharmacokinetic and immunogenicity assays. Today,
many more of our clients ask for BioVeris' ECL detection for their
assays, and Tandem Laboratories is focused on delivering the
highest quality testing coupled with customized service to our
clients." BioVeris' Chief Executive Officer, Samuel Wohlstadter,
stated, "We are pleased that Tandem Laboratories is the first CRO
to adopt the M-SERIES platform for bioanalytical testing. We
welcome Tandem as an experienced and well trained company that can
support life science customers." BioVeris and Tandem believe that
immunogenicity testing will become a large percentage of
pharmaceutical drug development tests with the increased number of
biotech products on the market. A paper issued by pharmaceutical
and Food and Drug Administration experts in the Journal of
Immunological Methods (volume 289, pages 1-16, 2004) illustrated
many of the advantages of BioVeris' ECL technology compared to
other methods available for immunogenicity testing. About Tandem
Labs Tandem Labs is a privately held company with a 25-year history
of applying scientific knowledge and technology to solutions in the
life sciences. Since 1992, Tandem Labs has applied mass
spectrometry and more recently immunoanalytical expertise in
support of new drug development for the pharmaceutical and
biopharmaceutical industries. This specialization has resulted in
the emergence of Tandem Labs as a leading bioanalytical CRO. Tandem
Labs offers rapid method development of LC/MS/MS and GC/MS/MS
assays to support clinical and pre-clinical studies adhering to
GLP. Hundreds of GLP proprietary methods have been validated
including multi-analyte assays and those with concentration
requirements in the low pg/mL range. Tandem Labs' discovery team
specializes in rapid development, abbreviated validations, and
high-throughput analysis of non-GLP samples. Tandem Labs' Biomarker
and Immunoanalytical Division provides method development,
validation, and sample analysis for novel and esoteric biomarkers
as well as the analysis of biotherapeutics and antibodies. Further
