WOBURN, Mass.

Courtagen Life Sciences, Inc., an innovative molecular information company, announced today international distribution agreements with Pronto Diagnostics Ltd., headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, and Medica Labs, headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand. Courtagen continues to expand its international presence, and is pursuing similar commercial relationships with leading distributors in markets around the world.

Often diagnosis of pediatric neurological and metabolic disorders is challenging due to the wide range of symptoms and severity, and frequently genetic factors play a pivotal role. Courtagen’s genetic tests take advantage of recent advances in Next Generation Sequencing technology, and enable new opportunities to find genetic causes of disorders such as epilepsy, mitochondrial disorders, developmental delay, and lysosomal storage disorders to guide treatment to improve the patient’s quality of life.

“Pronto Diagnostics, a leader in the Israeli genetic testing market, is proud to add Courtagen’s unique assays to its portfolio. Pronto offers genetic testing services to all of the Israeli healthcare providers and this new addition aligns with the company’s strategy of presenting the local market with the world’s leading tests in specific clinical fields,” said Nir Navot, President of Pronto Diagnostics. “We expect that local clinicians will embrace this technology and improve the care of their patients.”

“We are enthusiastic to work together with Pronto Diagnostics and Medica Labs in expanding our global presence,” said Mike Catalano, Courtagen’s Sr. Director of Business Development. “As leaders in their respective markets, we look forward to harnessing their expertise and making Courtagen’s advanced clinical tests available to more physicians in more places around the world.”
