[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] Mediphron announced on the 21st that it has received product approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for the in vitro diagnostic medical device 'QPLEXTM Alz plus assay,' which helps confirm the accumulation of beta-amyloid in the brain.



Mediphron stated, "To detect amyloid in the brain, expensive imaging equipment called PET or cerebrospinal fluid tests via lumbar puncture have mainly been used, but both methods have raised concerns about high costs and potential side effects. The QPLEX™ Alz plus assay medical device, co-developed by Mediphron and Quantamatrix, requires only a small amount of blood for testing, and is expected to be significantly more affordable compared to PET, offering strong price competitiveness."
