ArcherDx and Illumina have signed a co-development agreement for next-generation sequencing (NGS) based in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests to support current and future clinical trials.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, ArcherDX will conduct a series of diagnostic tests using its anchored multiplex PCR (AMP) chemistry that will be run on the Illumina MiSeqDx instrument.
The partnership allows the companies to develop a companion test aligned to the current and next generations of targeted therapies instead of a single companion diagnostic for a single therapy. The combined test will improve patient outcomes and reduce the sample and cost burdens of clinical sequencing in the future, says ArcherDX’s CEO.
