1-Laser and 2-Laser 6-Color TBNK Reagents from Cytek® Biosciences Approved for Clinical Use in China
May 28 2024 - 5:30PM
Today Cytek Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTKB) announced that its
1-laser and 2-laser 6-color TBNK reagent cocktails have received
China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) approval for
clinical diagnostic use on the Cytek® Northern Lights™-Clinical
(NL-CLC™) cell analysis systems in hospitals, laboratories and
clinics across China. This is the first clinical 1-laser based
6-color TBNK assay supported by Full Spectrum Profiling™ (FSP™)
capability.
Clinical TBNK analysis is routinely used to
assess and monitor immune system status for various medical
conditions, with TBNK reagents enabling the identification and
quantification of key lymphocyte subsets. These reagents help in
diagnosing and monitoring various immune-related conditions,
including immunodeficiencies, autoimmune diseases, infectious
diseases and cancers. By providing insight into the immune system's
composition, function, and therapeutic response, TBNK reagents
support targeted treatment decisions and ongoing patient
management.
“Cytek remains dedicated to providing innovative
and powerful solutions that allow clinicians to quickly and
efficiently gain profound insights into the clinical diagnosis of
patients,” said Wenbin Jiang, Ph.D., CEO of Cytek Biosciences. “A
crucial element of this mission is to continually expand and
enhance our reach and capabilities. Obtaining NMPA clearance is a
significant milestone, achieved through a rigorous process that
validates the safety and efficacy of Cytek’s TBNK reagents. It also
enhances our market presence in China and opens up new
opportunities – while strengthening our competitive advantage.”
This assay is validated on the Cytek Northern
Lights-Clinical (NL-CLC) cell analysis systems, which ensures
optimal performance for users in the multicolor environment. In
addition, the absolute cell counts are determined by using the
on-board volumetric meter on NL-CLC instruments instead of counting
beads, reducing the cost of the testing. Cytek continues to seek
regulatory approvals in additional geographies to provide its cell
analysis solutions for clinical use more broadly.
