JERSEY, Channel Islands, May 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Quotient Limited (NASDAQ:QTNT), a commercial-stage diagnostics company (the Company), headquartered in Eysins, Switzerland, today announced receipt of the CE Mark (Conformité Européenne) for its initial Immunohematology (IH) Microarray for use with its CE Marked MosaiQTM diagnostic platform.
Initial IH Microarray Approval in Europe

Following the successful conclusion of its first EU field trial in July 2018 and the subsequent submission of the technical dossier for CE Mark approval in late September 2018, on April 30, 2019, the Company was informed that it had received CE Mark clearance for its initial IH Microarray for use in transfusion diagnostics. Franz Walt, Quotient’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “This is an important milestone in our Company’s evolution from development into commercialization. With this critical approval, we can begin commercialization and can fully interact with customers, allowing us to demonstrate the significant benefits which MosaiQ will offer to their laboratory operations. Moving forward from a development perspective, our focus is now on menu expansion.” Mr. Walt added, “In line with our product portfolio roadmap, the next IH microarray will move from development into field trials shortly, in conjunction with the submission of the clinical data from our ongoing initial SDS Microarray’s European field trial for CE Mark approval. Menu expansion plans also include a third-party evaluation of our novel approach to Molecular Disease Screening which we plan to complete later this year. The clearance for our initial IH Microarray will also allow us to issue an additional $25 million of our 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2024, which we expect to occur later this month.”
