As of today MADx partners with ALPCO to offer its services and products to customers in North America.

MADx and ALPCO a leading US producer of novel immunoassay testing platforms, recently announced an exclusive distribution partnership.

Together they offer a comprehensive line of testing solutions for allergies (IgE-based) and food intolerances (IgG-based), from test material to proprietary hardware and software to process and analyze samples.

MADx’s comprehensive allergy test incorporates 99% of globally relevant allergens and covers allergy sources such as pollen, pet allergens, dust mites, insect venom, foods, and more; while the food intolerance test offers a complete repertoire of relevant food antigens, including superfoods such as aloe, chlorella, guarana, and more. MADx's revolutionary immunodiagnostic approach leads to reliable and accurate results.

“We are proud to work with ALPCO and see great potential in this partnership,” says MADx CEO Christian Harwanegg, PhD. “As MADx expands its global reach into the US market, we are convinced that our expertise and products will lead to a great improvement of the status quo of molecular allergy testing in the US.”

“This partnership now provides the North American market access to MacroArray Diagnostics' proprietary cutting-edge technology, while enabling ALPCO to retain our leadership position within the US based specialty testing markets,” says ALPCO’s CEO, Sean Conley. “The FOX food allergy IgG test panel will provide immediate value to labs differentiating root causes of food intolerance from other common GI disorders.”
