Correlagen Diagnostics and Protedyne Corporation Partner to Form Correlagen GeneXchange(TM).CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Correlagen Diagnostics, a molecular diagnostics clinical reference laboratory, and Protedyne Corporation, an advanced industrial laboratory automation provider, today announced the creation of Correlagen GeneXchange. GeneXchange combines Correlagen genetic sequence testing methods and software with Protedyne's novel Radius(TM) robotic system robotic system An integrated system of devices that automate production and manufacturing of goods and services Surgery An AI-based surgical assistant system, which processes sensory input from haptic interfaces and/or allows surgeons to act with more accuracy than . GeneXchange enables leading academic medical centers to bring genetic sequencing for patient care into their diagnostic laboratories. The GeneXchange services include assay development protocols, software to support ordering gene test reagents and supplies, a next-generation robotics robotics, science and technology of general purpose, programmable machine systems. Contrary to the popular fiction image of robots as ambulatory machines of human appearance capable of performing almost any task, most robotic systems are anchored to fixed positions platform (Radius), and a data analytics service to optimize the value and validity of results reporting. Correlagen GeneXchange will distribute the GeneXchange services to academic medical centers. This integrated end-to-end automated solution for genetic testing Genetic Testing Definition A genetic test examines the genetic information contained inside a person's cells, called DNA, to determine if that person has or will develop a certain disease or could pass a disease to his or her offspring. within the healthcare institution will lower the cost of testing, improve turn around time, and deliver consistent results. Correlagen and Protedyne will maintain their focus on their core businesses and continue to operate independently. "Correlagen has had remarkable success automating complex testing protocols on their Protedyne BioCube System," said Fran Tuttle, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

To be filled with sound; reverberate: The schoolyard resounded with the laughter of children. 2. endorsement that they have elected to take the next step with us to form GeneXchange to distribute this capability to the academic medical center market. By combining the expertise of the two companies, we will be able to provide heathcare organizations with an advanced product to quickly and cost-effectively manage genetic testing." "Academic medical centers have told us of their need for a diagnostic sequencing platform to enable them to fully appreciate the benefits of clinical insights derived from genetic testing," said Dr. David Margulies David Joseph Margulies (born February 19, 1937) is an American actor. Margulies was born in Brooklyn, New York to Runya (née Zeltzer), a nurse and museum worker, and Harry David Margulies, a lawyer.[1] Margulies graduated from City College of New York. , President and CEO of Correlagen Diagnostics. "The combination of Correlagen's application software and sequencing protocols (together, our 'Bioware') and Protedyne's remarkable instrument create a unique capability for the sophisticated medical center. Correlagen GeneXchange will dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of diagnostic sequencing for the laboratory. We expect the first system to be in production by the third quarter of 2006."
