Shares of Israeli biotech firm BioView surged 18.7% to NIS 3.45 on Wednesday after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved its Duet scanning system for the detection of mutations in lung cancer patients, Israel’s Globes business daily reported.
In a statement, Dr. Alan Schwebel, BioView President and CEO said, “We are pleased to receive FDA approval for the new application. This, along with our distribution agreement with Abbot Molecular and the broad range of applications will allow us to continue to penetrate the pathology lab market and to position BioView as a world leader.”
