Mindray and MedTest Announce US Exclusive Partnership at AACC 2013

At an exclusive press conference today at the AACC Clinical Lab Expo, Mindray and MedTest jointly announced a US exclusive partnership that will greatly expand collaboration between the two organizations.

Covering the chemistry and drugs of abuse (DoA) market segments, the agreement spans the BS-200 Clinical Analyzer, the world’s leading bench-top chemistry analyzer, Pointe Scientific’s reagents exclusively manufactured and FDA cleared for the BS-200 analyzer, and MedTest DX’s sales, customer service and support.

The partnership enables US laboratory customers to purchase the analyzer, reagents, and service from one company, MedTest. MedTest will be the exclusive US distributor of the BS-200 analyzer and it’s consumables for the chemistry and moderately complex DoA markets. MedTest will also market the BS-200 analyzer for the highly complex DoA market on a non-exclusive basis. MedTest is committed to providing existing and new customers with enhanced customer support and differentiated products.

Hanjoon Ryu, CEO of MedTest, stated: “US physician office laboratories and small hospital and commercial labs deserve a more integrated service provider who offers innovative instruments and quality reagents. We are delighted to announce this strategic partnership and to ensure that the partnership brings substantial improvement in serving our customers.”

Finn Li, PhD, Sales Manager of Mindray IVD, stated: “We are excited to forge this US exclusive partnership with MedTest. As Mindray has grown rapidly in global markets, this partnership will make it possible for Mindray to further enhance its presence in the US in-vitro diagnostic market and further introduce a series of new and innovative products for the clinical laboratory.”
