The world allergy organization journal published the first study that investigated the performance of ALEX. The research group, centred on Enrico Heffler and Giovanni Melioli, describes the unique diagnostic features of ALEX and compares the performance of ALEX vis a vis ImmunoCAP® ISAC.

The paper is open access and available here

More ALEX studies are on their way and will be published soon!

Macro Array Diagnostics was selected as the only Austrian life science company to receive 2.5 Mio € within the EU’s Horizon 2020 (small- and medium enterprise) funding programme. This is the highest amount of EU funding any Austrian company has ever received. We are very happy and proud about this success in a highly selective application and review process.

The funds will be used to speed up the development of the revolutionary ALEX^® – Allergy Explorer test platform and to develop an automated processing solution for medical laboratories.
