9.10.2019 08:02:12 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Mobidiag Ltd., a revenue generating, molecular diagnostics company with complementary platforms that address antimicrobial resistance and other areas of unmet diagnostic need, today announces the CE-IVD marking of the Novodiag® Stool Parasites test, a comprehensive and cost-effective molecular diagnostic test for the detection of intestinal parasites directly from stool samples.
Tuomas Tenkanen, CEO of Mobidiag, said, “Parasitic diseases contribute significantly to the burden of infectious diseases worldwide and current diagnostic methods such as microscopy are labor-intensive and require a high level of skill. Our Novodiag® Stool Parasites test is the only fully automated, rapid, cost-effective and easy to use diagnostic solution that can identify a comprehensive range of parasitic targets, for use in laboratories and hospitals.”
“Novodiag® Stool Parasites is the fourth test on our Novodiag® platform and, together with our Novodiag® C. difficile , Novodiag® Bacterial GE+ and Novodiag® CarbaR+ tests, further strengthens our offering in the detection of gastrointestinal infections. With our complementary Amplidiag® and Novodiag® solutions, we continue to offer a range of highly versatile combined solutions enabling the broad application of molecular diagnostics around the world.”
Novodiag® Stool Parasites combines real-time PCR and microarray technologies to allow cost-effective, rapid and comprehensive detection of >95% of intestinal parasites. This syndromic test is designed to run on-demand using the automated Novodiag® system and is able to detect the presence of nucleic acid markers corresponding to the identification of the most common protozoan, helminths, and microsporidia from stool samples. The test provides complete results in 90 minutes with less than five minutes hands-on time by an operator.
While most infections and death from parasitic diseases affect people in developing countries, increasing incidence in developed nations combined with a shortage of microscopy trained hospital staff are driving demand for this test.
The Novodiag® Stool Parasites test is now available directly through Mobidiag and local distributors. For more information, visit https://mobidiag.com/products/novodiag/#stoolparasites

JEOL: Sales Launch of the Laser SEM System “LazEdge”25.5.2026 10:16:00 CEST | Press release
JEOL Ltd. (President & CEO: Izumi Oi) has developed the “LazEdge”, an SEM system equipped with a laser processing system, and begins sales on May 25, 2026. Cross-section preparation instruments such as the focused ion beam system (FIB system), are widely used in science and technology fields across research institutes, universities, and industries. In recent years, demand is increasing for a system that can process large-areas at a high speed, while achieving high-quality of the processed surface. “LazEdge” is an instrument integrating JEOL’s SEM with the laser technology proprietary of Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., and enables laser processing inside the specimen chamber of the electron microscope. This system enables high-quality cross-section specimens produced through high-speed, large-area processing to be transferred seamlessly to subsequent analyses, such as SEM observation, elemental analysis, and crystal orientation analysis, without exposure to the external environment. As a resu
TFG-001, A Novel 3D Neural Microtissue Cell Therapy, Demonstrates Superior Functionality and Reinnervation for Parkinson’s Disease25.5.2026 08:00:00 CEST | Press release
TreeFrog Therapeutics, a regenerative medicine biotech company developing next-generation cell therapies, today announced that it will present new preclinical data on TFG-001 at the 7th World Parkinson’s Conference. TFG-001, a 3D neural microtissue cell therapy, demonstrated rapid dopamine release and extensive graft-derived reinnervation across multiple advanced translational Parkinson’s disease models—supporting its potential as a best-in-class candidate. The critical need for reinnervation in Parkinson's disease In Parkinson's disease, an estimated 60–80% of dopaminergic neurons are already lost before motor symptoms even appear. The nigrostriatal pathway degenerates, destroying the essential wiring that connects dopamine-producing neurons to movement control. While chemical dopamine replacements (like levodopa) can manage symptoms, they cannot restore the spatial precision, feedback loops, or dynamic regulation of a healthy brain network. To achieve true functional restoration, it
