FUJIREBIO-EUROPE
H.U. Group Holdings Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Fujirebio today announced the availability of the Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma and Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-40 Plasma assays for the fully automated LUMIPULSE G immunoassay systems. These CLEIA (chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay) assays allow for the quantitative measurement of β-amyloid1-42 and β-amyloid1-40 in human plasma within just 35 minutes.
“With the launch of these two new tests on our robust LUMIPULSE G platform, Fujirebio truly becomes an essential actor in the field of blood-based testing,” said Goki Ishikawa, President and CEO of Fujirebio Holdings, Inc. “Our cerebrospinal fluid-based neurodegeneration IVD tests are already used by laboratories for routine testing in many countries across the world for decades, and this release continues the new chapter that we started writing earlier this month, with the launch of the Lumipulse G pTau 181 Plasma.”
The two new automated blood-based biomarker assays are available for Research Use Only. They will allow researchers and clinical research professionals across the world to further study the clinical utility of the Aβ1-42 , Aβ1-40 and the pTau 181 markers in Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders on the LUMIPULSE G platform. This platform has the required throughput and meets the regulatory requirements to support possible future routine use of blood-based testing of these markers.
The Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma and the Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-40 Plasma assays, together with the already available Lumipulse G pTau 181 Plasma assay, complement the panel of four key cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) assays (Aβ1-42 , Aβ1-40 , tTau and pTau 181) already available within the Lumipulse G as well as the INNOTEST® Neuro product portfolio. These four CSF parameters can provide essential information on the presence of amyloid and tau pathology in neurodegenerative disease.
There is hope that blood-based testing can become an even simpler, more accessible, and more scalable approach to help support the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Current research indicates that the plasma β-amyloid1-42 /β-amyloid1-40 ratio has the potential to be used in clinical settings and within clinical trials to predict brain β-amyloid burden.1-2 It could also be used as a tool to evaluate target engagement and efficacy of disease-modifying drugs.3
The development of the Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma and Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-40 Plasma assays has been supported by the Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship (VLAIO).

Data Space Technology Leaders Advance Data Interoperability in Construction and Real Estate at the Gaia-X Summit19.11.2025 11:03:00 CET | Press release
Leaders in data space technology are converging at the Gaia-X Summit, in Porto November 20-21, to address the imperative of interoperability within and across data spaces in the construction and real estate sectors. The main objective is to assess how data spaces can leverage the world’s estimated $393 trillion in real estate assets. Achieving this involves exploring numerous use cases among the entire building lifecycle, from design to demolition, including construction, renovation and facility management operations, which creates a win-win situation for both industry and technology stakeholders. In France, the construction and renovation market alone is estimated at €200 billion annually. Designed to address the sector’s challenges, Digital TER-X is a technology demonstrator serving the construction and real estate use cases. Its relevance has been recognized, notably by being named in November 2025 Gaia-X Lighthouse Project, just one year after its Gaia-X Endorsed Project status, an
Duco introduces agentic workspace; a new collaboration layer for intelligent operations19.11.2025 10:00:00 CET | Press release
Duco, the trusted control layer in an agentic world, today announced the launch of agentic workspace, a new capability within the Duco Platform designed to help operations teams work alongside intelligent agents with transparency, control and confidence. Agentic workspace is a collaboration environment where users can build, maintain, optimise, manage tasks and exceptions. All within a single, auditable workspace. It brings humans and autonomous agents together in a shared operational context, ensuring interoperability between systems while maintaining full oversight and explainability. “Agentic workspace is the next step in our mission to put people in control of automated operations,” said James Maxfield, Chief Product Officer at Duco. “As firms embrace agentic AI, they need tools that allow them to monitor, adjust and collaborate with these systems in real time. This workspace gives them that control, without slowing innovation.” By combining data automation, exception management an
