Brief summary
Firalis SA and its affiliate Amoneta Diagnostics SAS are developing novel in-vitro-diagnostic (IVD) tests for diverse diagnostic applications for major human diseases, including cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative disorders. These tests detect several gene mutations related to the above-mentioned pathologies. The development of IVD tools requires the evaluation of analytical parameters including biomarker stability. The present specific study therefore aims to collect whole blood samples in PAXgene DNA tubes to complete the analytical validation of IVD tools and the evaluation of the stability of the DNA in PAXgene DNA tubes and the reagents in the IVD tools.
