Roche Grants License to Response Biomedical

As part of the agreement, Response Biomedical also received an option to commercialize troponin T, a cardiac marker for heart attack, for use with its RAMP system for the point-of-care (POC) market segment.

The availability of test results within minutes is vital for the assessment of patients with suspected cardiac problems. The RAMP system of Response Biomedical provides a quantitative measurement of cardiac markers in whole blood to diagnose a heart attack and provide test results in less than 15 minutes.

"This relationship with Roche Diagnostics enables Response Biomedical to significantly enhance our RAMP cardiac portfolio of FDA-cleared troponin T, CK-MB, and myoglobin tests while expanding our international marketing and distribution network over the coming months,” observed Bill Radvak, president and CEO of Response Biomedical.
