RALEIGH, NC–(Marketwire – September 8, 2010) – InoLife Technologies, Inc. (
InoLife’s Cytochrome P450 2C1 test is currently being used to identify how a patient’s genetics may affect the body’s response to Plavix (Clopidogrel). The test is available through the medical community only including physicians, hospitals, and medical clinics. This test is not available for sale to the general public.
According to the FDA in a press release dated March 12th, 2010 it is estimated that 2 percent to 14 percent of the U.S. population are poor metabolizers of certain medications. In 2009 the Federal Drug Administration approved wording on the drug label encouraging genetic testing for DNA variants based on specific risks. It is important to note that this drug metabolism test is not all-inclusive and is for the physician’s guidance only.
InoLife has incorporated the EasiCollect™ System, which combines an optimized foam collection surface with an FTA card for collection of buccal cells and preservation of DNA. InoLife prides itself in providing the EasiCollect™ System that adheres to the strict guidelines of the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) that monitors approximately 200,000 laboratory entities. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services regulates all laboratory testing (except research) performed on humans in the U.S. through CLIA.
