BOZEMAN, Mont., Jan. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ALERCELL, INC. announced today that it has introduced a new Research Use Only (RUO) LENA Q51® Leukemia diagnostic test for commercial sale. LENA Q51® was developed to detect up to 51 genes mutations associated with Leukemia.

LENA Q51® is available for early detection of any type of Leukemia and is a gigantic leap forward in Leukemia detection. The RUO LENA Q51® will be available while the company completes clinical trials and regulatory submissions to support U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for broader clinical use.

The innovative approach of LENA Q51® Leukemia Fusion Gene Kit is to target the gene mutations, the clonogenic gene rearrangements and abnormal gene expression.
