Predicine, a molecular insights company, announced today that its CLIA-certified genomic sequencing laboratory in the San Francisco Bay Area has received accreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP) for meeting the highest standards in quality, operations, and patient safety.
Predicine received CAP accreditation for its Shanghai facility last month. The current dual CAP accreditation of its laboratories in U.S and China enables the company to offer harmonized biomarker assays to its biopharma partners to support clinical trials in China and worldwide. In this setting, all patient samples collected in China will be locally processed in the Shanghai laboratory and samples collected outside of China will be shipped to and processed in the Hayward, California laboratory.
“The dual distinction of being CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited demonstrates our commitment to uphold the industry’s most stringent requirements in laboratory testing for our harmonized assays,” said Dr. Shidong Jia, Founder and CEO of Predicine. “Gaining identical CAP accreditation for both our Shanghai and Hayward facilities enables us to provide a unified quality management system to fully support our partners’ global clinical trials.”
Predicine has developed a propriety GeneRADAR liquid biopsy technology to detect genetic cancer variants in circulation using blood and urine samples. Most recently, Predicine launched an RUO 600-gene TMB liquid biopsy panel at AACR and partners with world-leading biopharmaceutical companies to support global clinical trials in U.S., Europe, Australia, and China.
