JERSEY, Channel Islands, Dec. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quotient Limited (NASDAQ:QTNT), a commercial-stage diagnostics company (the Company), today reported receipt of the formal ISO 13485:2016 certification for its state of the art MosaiQ™ multiplexing microarray manufacturing facility following the successful conclusion of the related European regulatory audit in September of this year.

This manufacturing system approval is a critical step in the ongoing commercialization plans for the MosaiQ™ microarray technology which is designed to transform transfusion diagnostics and beyond. Following the recent CE marking of the MosaiQ™ instrument, this ISO certification represents the second of three critical approvals required for entry into the European transfusion diagnostics market.
