Next Generation of Biomarkers From Lee Biosolutions

PR Log (Press Release) – Sep 23, 2009 – Saint Louis, MO, (www.leebio.com) Lee Biosolutions has invested a great deal in research and development of the next generation of diagnostic biomarkers  that have the potential of improving patients lives and obtaining quicker and higher quality treatment of patients with chronic and acute heart failure.

Researchers are excited that Lee Bio's Product line now includes biomarkers such as BNP and NT-proBNP since these markers  have been reported as the 'fatal finish line' for most cardiovascular disorders.  In addition there has been an increased demand for Cardiac TROPONIN'S with major diagnostic companies since they  have proven to simplify  the diagnosis of myocardial infarction.  Sales for Lee Bio's inflammatory biomarkers such as C-REACTIVE PROTEIN and   MYELOPEROXIDASE  have  doubled since the beginning of the year because research continues to show they help identify the patients who would benefit the most from specific treatments for coronary artery disease

Biomarkers  found in the blood  are helping researchers predict, diagnose and treat heart attacks better than ever before, Lee Biosolutions President Burton Lee said. Researchers use these materials to advance their understanding of the critical role they play in heart-related illness.

According to Lee Biosolutions President Burton Lee, the  demand for research proteins have increased significantly over the past 12 months. “We operate with one ear constantly tuned to the diagnostic manufacturing and pharmaceutical community,” Lee said. “This helps us stay on top of the latest cardiovascular research and  gives us the information we need to stay ahead of their demands
