Carbiotix announces the launch of its second generation gut heath diagnostic platform

Carbiotix AB (publ) ("Carbiotix") announces today that the company will launch its second generation gut health diagnostics platform in Q1 of 2020. This platform will allow Carbiotix to attain a leading position in the diagnostics area by targeting a global market, which is estimated to be worth 800 million Euro for both consumer and clinical microbiome diagnostic services.

Kristofer Cook, CEO for Carbiotix, comments

“Carbiotix current diagnostic platform for gut health is based on a Fiber Loving Bacteria (FLB) Index, which is a simplified and cost-effective gut health test based on key biomarkers for gut health. This test allowed the company to validate the feasibility and need for repeat & longitudinal sampling to increase the reliability of gut health data. Carbiotix second generation gut health diagnostic platform will build on these cost savings and key learnings, however will also be built on a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analytical platform with additional parameters that will allow the company to compete directly with other service providers. This will mean that the company after the launch will target a global market for consumer and clinical microbiome diagnostic services estimated to be worth 800 million Euro annually.”
