SEBIA
Sebia, a global specialty diagnostic company providing innovative solutions for screening and diagnostics in oncology, metabolic diseases, genetic disorders and autoimmune diseases, today announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the FLC Kappa & Lambda assays. These are the first EIA tests receiving 510(k) from the FDA for the quantitative detection of both kappa and lambda free light chains in human serum specimens, intended for both aid of diagnosis and monitoring of Multiple Myeloma and Immunoglobulin Light-Chain (AL-) amyloidosis.
Clinical evaluation of Sebia FLC kappa and FLC lambda assay has shown comparable clinical sensitivity with the Freelite assay (96.6% on 177 samples from patients diagnosed with MM) and improved clinical specificity (85.1% on 189 non-myeloma/non-amyloidosis subjects with various clinical conditions). These excellent performances have been notably highlighted in the Willrich et al publication released in 2022.
“As a global leader for multiple myeloma testing, Sebia expands its offer in the U.S. with this new solution, easily adaptable to automated immunoassay instruments for a high throughput processing. The ELISA format overcomes main challenges in analytical performance often seen in alternative testing methods” said Arnaud Collin, Sebia Group Vice President Global Regulatory Affairs & Quality.

MVNO Europe - Europe's Competitiveness Depends on a Truly Open Telecoms Market, Not on Increased Concentration That Benefits a Handful of Mobile Operators1.12.2025 14:37:00 CET | Press release
This is the warning that MVNO Europe – through its President Jacques Bonifay – has issued to the European Commission in an open letter to Ursula von der Leyen and Vice-President Henna Virkkunen. As discussions on the Digital Networks Act (DNA) enter their decisive phase, the association, which brings together alternative mobile operators in Europe, points out that the EU's digital ambition can only be achieved if competition remains a structuring principle, not an adjustment variable. While some players are calling for "necessary" consolidation in the sector, MVNO Europe warns against a simplistic and economically dangerous vision. "Reducing the number of operators has never guaranteed innovation, access for European industries, or fair conditions for new digital services. On the contrary, the historical driver of European competitiveness has always been the diversity of players, models, technologies and services," says Jacques Bonifay, President of MVNO Europe and CEO of Transatel.
