VolitionRx Announces Collaboration with Sysmex

HENDERSON, Nev., June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VolitionRx Limited (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) ("Volition"), a multi-national epigenetics company, announces a collaboration with Sysmex (TYO: 6869), a leader in global in vitro diagnostics, to optimize Volition's Nu.Q® NETs H3.1 assay on the Sysmex platform.

Gael Forterre, Chief Commercial Officer, Volition commented:

"We are proud to have entered into this agreement with Sysmex, as we implement our strategy to out license our proprietary Nu.Q® NETs test to large companies with a worldwide presence, to leverage their knowledge of specific diseases, product development, regulatory experience and their installed base of proprietary analyzers. Sysmex is a global leader in the field of in vitro diagnostics for hemostasis and thrombosis, among other diseases, where Neutrophil Extracellular Traps ("NETS") play such an important role.

"Following the successful transfer of our Nu.Q® NETs assay onto Sysmex's platform we are delighted to commence the optimization phase in diseases associated with NETosis. NETosis is implicated in a wide range of diseases, including sepsis and other acute and chronic diseases.

"We believe that Volition's Nu.Q® NETs test could provide not only improved diagnostic information to aid clinical decision-making and personalized care, but could also be a low-cost test to continue to monitor a patient's condition.

"The commercial opportunity for the Nu.Q® NETs assay is significant, with a Total Addressable Market of $3.8 billion^[1].

"It is exciting to progress the collaboration with Sysmex and we look forward to a fruitful long-term partnership together."
