Fujirebio Europe launches Lumipulse® G Progesterone-N, a biomarker for high-risk pregnancy monitoring and a valuable aid in detection and management of various causes of infertility

Product news

Gent, Belgium: October 26, 2015 - Fujirebio Europe announces the addition of the Lumipulse G Progesterone-N assay to the existing fertility test portfolio for use on the CLEIA-based LUMIPULSE G600II and the LUMIPULSE G1200 immunoassay systems. Progesterone is a steroid hormone that is synthesized in the gonads and the adrenal glands; measurement of progesterone can be used as one of the indicators of luteal function  in the investigation of infertility and also placental function during pregnancy.

“The main role of Progesterone is to help prepare a woman's body for pregnancy.” said Christiaan De Wilde, CEO at Fujirebio Europe. “The Lumipulse G Progesterone-N is already widely used on the Japanese market and has shown to be a valuable aid for clinicians in the detection and monitoring of various causes of infertility. The test is often used in combination with other biomarkers such as FSH, LH, hCG and thyroid tests, which are already available for automated testing on our LUMIPULSE G systems.”
