Universal DX primarily serves laboratories and diagnostic operators in the US. It is finalising commercial approval for its colorectal cancer detection test and is developing comparable tests for lung, liver, pancreatic and oesophageal cancers. The recent financing round totals €62 million, with SETT contributing €29.9 million from its Next Tech facility backed by EU Next Generation funds.
