Executive Summary
Igen (US) is to launch its Origen analyser in Japan following US release earlier this year. The company will work with Eisai to develop an Origen-based clinical diagnostic system in Japan, says Igen CEO and chairman Samuel Wohlstadter. Igen also has an agreement with Boehringer Mannheim, which owns a worldwide licence to use Igen's Origen-based technology to develop diagnostic instruments and assays. Boehringer hopes to launch an instrument, the prototype of which was shown at Medica in 1994, in Europe within a year and in Japan and the US soon after.
