Colin King, CEO of Omega commented: "I am pleased to report we have achieved this key milestone as promised and that our product aligns with our design specifications. This enhancement to our 350 test line is crucial in managing patients with advanced diseases and one that the NGO community are keen to see brought to the market. I look forward to making further announcements as we bring this product to market."
