Myriad Genetics and Sandstone Diagnostics Form Point-of-Care Blood Collection Partnership

Collaboration will enable doctor’s office capillary blood draws, sample prep, and lab transport for advanced blood tests without phlebotomy

PLEASANTON, CA, USA, September 22, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sandstone Diagnostics, Inc. and Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ:MYGN), have entered into a Collaborative Development Agreement to construct a system enhancing the ease, safety, and effectiveness of point-of-care blood collection.
