Assay development advancing towards final validation phase

NT-proBNP is a cornerstone test in heart failure diagnostics. Estimated market value in 2025 is \$1.0 B with 2025-2033 CAGR of +7%. Up to 80% of NT-proBNP molecules may have sugar structures attached to them (glycosylation). Current assays tend to underestimate NT-proBNP levels due to antibodies binding the glycosylated areas. Gentian is developing a glycosylation-independent NT-proBNP assay aiming to improve accuracy and consistency of heart failure diagnostics.
