“UgenTec is glad to provide the users of PathoFinder kits with a one-stop solution for their interpretation” said Wouter Uten, CEO of UgenTec. “The innovative multiplex assays of PathoFinder are used in a multitude of laboratories worldwide. With our cloud-based CE-IVD solution, PathoFinder will be able to manage these with ease”.
