Yourgene Health (part of the Novacyt group of companies), a leading international molecular diagnostics group, announces the launch of LightBench® Discover, a high-precision 3-in-1 instrument for genomic research labs conducting long-read sequencing.

Yourgene Health plc (“Yourgene”, AIM: YGEN), a leading international molecular diagnostics group, announces today the launch of the LightBench® Detect, the latest addition to its Ranger® Technology instrumentation portfolio at the 26th International Conference on Prenatal Diagnosis and Therapy (ISPD). The Company has worked closely with its clinical laboratory partners to develop size selection methodologies optimised for improving the performance of liquid biopsy workflows, most notably non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). The LightBench Detect helps NIPT providers to reduce no-call rates by optimising average fetal fraction. Leveraging the unique size selection capabilities of Ranger Technology, the LightBench Detect also enables laboratories to consider the use of EDTA blood collection tubes (BCTs) instead of expensive specialised preservation blood collection tubes (BCT) in their workflows to help reduce overall costs.
