About company

Venaxis is a Colorado-based in vitro diagnostic company focused on developing and commercializing its unique multi-biomarker diagnostic test, the APPY1 Test. Designed to aid in the identification of patients at low risk for acute appendicitis, the APPY1 Test is a simple, rapid blood test that may help physicians manage the large number of children and adolescents who enter hospital emergency departments with abdominal pain, suspected of acute appendicitis. Determining whether a patient requires emergency surgery for appendicitis is critical and current practices have important limitations.
