Mainz Biomed N.V. (NASDAQ:MYNZ) (“Mainz Biomed” or the “Company”), a molecular genetics diagnostic company specializing in the early detection of cancer, is pleased to share that its partner, GANZIMMUN Diagnostics, has officially launched the enhanced ColoAlert colorectal cancer (CRC) screening test. Starting this January, patients across Germany can access this new version of the Company’s screening test, in time for Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in March.

First introduced by Mainz Biomed in mid-2024, the enhanced ColoAlert features state-of-the-art advancements, including a proprietary DNA stabilizing buffer, to deliver accurate results even with varying sample volumes.

This collaborative launch reaffirms both companies’ shared dedication to advancing colorectal cancer prevention through innovation and accessibility. “This milestone brings us closer to our mission of improving colorectal cancer prevention and detection,” said Tarrin Khairi-Taraki, VP Commercial Operations at Mainz Biomed. “We are thrilled to support GANZIMMUN in making this pioneering test available to patients at such a critical time for cancer awareness.”

Boosting Awareness and Accessibility with Unified Screening GuidelinesThe launch coincides with March Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a global initiative emphasizing the importance of early detection in fighting one of the most preventable cancers. This strategic timing highlights the critical role innovative diagnostics like ColoAlert play in saving lives.

Furthermore, the enhanced ColoAlert is launching at a time when awareness of colorectal cancer screening is increasing. Independently of this launch, Germany has recently updated its national screening program to ensure equal access for men and women starting at age 50, addressing prior gender-based discrepancies in risk assessment protocols. Research from the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) found no notable differences in recommended screening methods or intervals by gender, paving the way for unified practices. By simplifying the screening process and promoting equal access, the updated guidelines are expected to drive broader participation and enhance the integration of preventive measures in healthcare settings.

The collaborative launch underscores the shared dedication of Mainz Biomed and GANZIMMUN to advancing colorectal cancer diagnostics through cutting-edge innovation. This advancement empowers laboratory partners to offer a superior screening solution that aligns perfectly with current healthcare demands and trends during a pivotal time in the fight against CRC.
