“Although the Products Division remains focused on HemeScreen, its important to remind our stakeholders in the healthcare community that Precipio is not a single-product company,” said Ilan Danieli, Precipio’s CEO. “Our R&D team continues to improve our existing product lines, as well as explore and develop new concepts.”

Several laboratories (both domestically and internationally) have submitted inquiries about the product; and subsequently, Precipio technical team members have been working with customers to introduce the media, demonstrate its effectiveness, and assist in the onboarding process.

Ilan Danieli, Precipio’s CEO, also commented, “Precipio remains true to its vision as a provider of proprietary, clinically-relevant, workflow-efficient and economically attractive products, tested and developed in its clinical laboratory. I’m pleased to see the future diversity of revenue as we expand our business.”
