Digene Corporation">

Company Description:
Digene develops, manufactures and markets proprietary DNA and RNA testing systems for the screening, monitoring and diagnosis of human diseases. We have developed and are commercializing our patented Hybrid Capture(R) Gene Analysis System and tests in three areas: women's cancers and infectious diseases, blood viruses, and genomics and pharmaceutical research. Our primary focus is in women's cancers and infectious diseases where our lead product is the only FDA-approved test for human papillomavirus, or HPV, which is the cause of greater than 99% of cervical cancer cases. Our HPV Test is used in the United States as an adjunct to the Pap smear for cervical cancer screening and in selected countries internationally as a primary cervical cancer screen, either in conjunction with or separate from the Pap smear. Our product portfolio also includes DNA tests for the detection of chlamydia, gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted infections. We believe our Hybrid Capture technology platform represents a significant improvement over existing technologies because of its accuracy, speed, ease of use and ability to quantitate DNA and RNA. In the United States, we market our products through a direct sales force and in other countries through distributors. Abbott Laboratories, one of the world's leading medical diagnostic companies, markets and distributes all of our women's cancers and infectious diseases and blood virus products in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
