Our vision is to become a globally defining player in the liquid biopsy market, making this type of test as accessible (democratized) as diagnostics for many other common diseases, thereby transforming cancer diagnostics and routine screening as we know it today.

In development·planned market entry: 2027Status updated September 2026

PC-Alarm Ultimate

PC-Alarm Ultimate advances urine-based prostate cancer risk assessment with a multimarker approach. Where PC-Alarm Focus is built on a single marker, the TMPRSS2–ERG gene fusion, Ultimate estimates risk from the joint evaluation of several markers, as a supplement to PSA-based work-up and to strengthen clinical decision support. Sampling is again a simple urine sample, without prostate massage. Development is under way; market entry is planned for 2027.

  • genosmart DXAvailable service

    genosmart DX is a bioinformatics and genomics platform that can be used in clinical diagnostic environments as well as for research purposes. It was designed to handle large-volume, parallel sequencing data. The system implements the processing of sequencing data, the automation of analysis workflows, and the clinical interpretation of results in a unified, scalable technological environment.

  • BC-MonitorAvailable service

    A blood plasma-based (ctDNA) liquid biopsy service developed for breast tumors, designed to track the molecular profile of the tumor over time. Molecular changes measured across serial samples can provide supplementary information for following the therapeutic response and the course of the disease, and can help with the early identification of resistance mutations, often before clinical or radiological progression.

  • BC-AlarmIn development

    BC-Alarm is the blood-based, multimodal liquid biopsy we are developing beside BC-Monitor, for the detection of early-stage breast cancer. Where BC-Monitor tracks the molecular profile of a known tumour during treatment, BC-Alarm aims to signal a tumour's presence early: in addition to circulating tumour DNA (cfDNA) it examines platelet-bound RNA markers, and the result is built on the joint evaluation of the two signal sources. Development is under way; market entry is planned for 2027.

  • PC-Alarm FocusAvailable service

    A urine-based, non-invasive molecular test supporting prostate cancer risk assessment, based on the detection of the TMPRSS2–ERG gene fusion frequently associated with prostate tumors. Sampling is done from a simple urine sample without prostate massage, which makes it gentle and possible to perform at home.

  • LC-MonitorAvailable service

    A blood plasma-based (ctDNA) liquid biopsy test related to lung tumors, focusing on the detection and follow-up of oncogenic alterations relevant to targeted treatments. It can help with the early identification of molecular changes and the emergence of resistance mutations alongside therapy, thereby supporting the timely fine-tuning of treatment strategy.

  • All Cancer SolidDNA-55Available service

    A 55-gene, NGS-based solid tumor panel test (from FFPE tumor tissue or plasma sample) for the identification of clinically relevant mutations, copy number alterations, and gene fusions. The structured report focuses on therapeutic decision support: it highlights alterations linked to targeted treatments, resistance mutations, and predictive markers associated with PARP inhibitors and immunotherapy.

  • Where our research is headingIn development

    Our diagnostics move forward along four lines: from monitoring treatment towards early detection, from a single marker towards reading markers together, from sampling in the laboratory towards a sample that fits an ordinary day, and from data towards the clinical decision. Our new tests come out of these directions. From monitoring to early detection: the Monitor family tracks the molecular changes of a known tumour during treatment, and the Alarm family turns the same liquid biopsy foundation the other way, towards signalling a tumour's presence at an early stage, starting with breast cancer. From one marker to markers read together: alongside circulating tumour DNA we are bringing in new signal sources, such as platelet-bound RNA markers, and in urine-based tests the joint evaluation of several markers instead of a single gene fusion. A sample that fits an ordinary day: blood and urine, gentle, and where possible collected at home. From data to decision: every new test is built on the same platform, and genosmart DX keeps the processing, analysis and clinical interpretation of sequencing data in one auditable workflow. Our developments run in academic and clinical collaborations.
