Press Release: MLS : Meridian Launches TRU Block® ULTRA - A Powerful Immunoassay Interference Blocker

CINCINNATI, Sept. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Meridian Life Science, Inc., (MLS) of Memphis, Tennessee, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Meridian Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIVO) today announced the launch of TRU Block® ULTRA. This product is the result of years of R&D aimed at creating the most powerful immunoassay interference blocker in the market. The advantage of TRU Block ULTRA over others in the market is its active blocking technology across various assay types and its powerful assay interference blocking against human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMA), rheumatoid factor (RH), and heterophilic antibodies (HA). The blocking effectiveness of TRU Block ULTRA has been proven in ELISA and lateral flow assay formats. The enhanced performance of TRU Block ULTRA allows IVD manufacturers to use this active blocker at reduced concentrations to achieve HAMA blocker cost reductions as well as broad coverage against HA/RF.
