Fujirebio Expands Access to Blood-based Neurology Testing in Brazil with ANVISA Market Authorization for Lumipulse® G NfL Blood and Lumipulse G pTau 217 Plasma
14.9.2026 08:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
H.U. Group Holdings Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Fujirebio today announced that the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) has granted market authorization for the Lumipulse G NfL Blood and Lumipulse G pTau 217 Plasma assays for use on the fully automated LUMIPULSE® G immunoassay platform in Brazil.
“ANVISA authorization of the Lumipulse G NfL Blood and Lumipulse G pTau 217 Plasma assays marks another important step in our mission to expand access to reliable, clinically meaningful blood-based biomarkers for clinicians and patients worldwide,” said Christiaan De Wilde, CEO of Fujirebio Europe N.V. “By making both neurological biomarker assays available to laboratories on a single, fully automated platform, we are helping support more informed clinical decision-making across a broad range of neurological conditions and throughout the diagnostic pathway.”
The Brazilian ANVISA authorizations are based on the already CE marked in vitro diagnostics (IVD) approvals of these two assays, reflecting conformity with the safety and performance requirements of the different regulatory agencies. The assays were also granted Class II Medical Device Licenses (MDL) by Health Canada earlier this month. Together, these milestones broaden access to Fujirebio’s high-quality biomarker solutions and strengthen its comprehensive neurological diagnostics portfolio. Through its expanding menu of blood-based and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, Fujirebio aims to contribute to a timelier diagnosis, more informed treatment decisions and improved patient care in neurological disease.
About Lumipulse G NfL Blood
The Lumipulse G NfL Blood assay is intended for the quantitative measurement of neurofilament light chain (NfL) in human serum and plasma.
NfL is a well-established biomarker of neuro-axonal injury and has been studied across a wide range of neurological conditions, including for its potential utility in disease monitoring, prognosis, and assessment of treatment response. This broad applicability underscores the value of linking the biomarker to the pathophysiology it represents rather than to a disease.
Results from the Lumipulse G NfL Blood assay should be interpreted in the clinical context and with appropriate reference values and validated clinical decision frameworks.
About Lumipulse G pTau 217 Plasma
Tau phosphorylated at threonine 217 (pTau 217) is a highly specific blood-based biomarker associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. It can support the assessment of underlying amyloid pathology and help clinicians distinguish AD from other causes of cognitive decline.
The Lumipulse G pTau 217 Plasma assay is intended to aid healthcare providers in identifying amyloid pathology associated with AD in individuals aged 50 years and older who present themselves with signs and symptoms of cognitive decline in specialized care settings. The assay is to be used as an adjunct to other diagnostic evaluations.

Cities Integrating AI Into Public Services With No Common Framework for Assessing Readiness, Oxford Insights Finds6.10.2026 05:00:00 EEST | Press release
Cities are integrating artificial intelligence into public services and operations with no shared framework for measuring or comparing how prepared they are to do so safely, effectively or accountably. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261005281462/en/ Cover of Oxford Insights' latest report on City AI Readiness. (Graphic: AETOSWire) Existing global indices compare countries on legislation, investment and research output, but the AI efforts happening at city level – the level of government where the technology most directly shapes daily life – are not systematically captured. To start closing that gap, Oxford Insights researchers studied AI readiness across six cities. They found that all share the same core priorities, from governance and funding to talent and infrastructure, but take distinct routes to AI readiness, shaped both by structural conditions and by deliberate strategic choices. The findings draw on
NEG Develops “BDX-3,” a New Starveil™ Ultra-thin Cover Glass for a Wider Range of Space Environments6.10.2026 04:00:00 EEST | Press release
Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. (NEG) (TOKYO: 5214) has developed “BDX-3,” a new Starveil™ ultra-thin cover glass for space applications. BDX-3 is designed to reduce radiation-induced discoloration while providing greater ultraviolet (UV) shielding performance than BDX-2. While primarily intended for low Earth orbit (LEO), it can also be used in medium Earth orbit (MEO) and high Earth orbit, making it suitable for a wider range of space environments. Samples are now available for purchase, and NEG aims to achieve commercial adoption of BDX-3 in satellites and other spaceborne equipment. About BDX-3 Satellites and other equipment operating in space are exposed to intense UV radiation and other forms of radiation. Low Earth orbit is widely used for Earth observation and communications, medium Earth orbit for positioning systems, and high Earth orbit for communications and weather observation. Cover glass used in these environments must not only protect precision equipment from harsh cond
AM Intelligence Expands NVIDIA Vera Rubin AI Factory Buildout in India and Malaysia5.10.2026 21:16:00 EEST | Press release
AM Intelligence (“AMI”), the AI infrastructure platform set up by Promoters of Greenko, today announced two further firm and binding orders for 20,000 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs, to be deployed as NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale systems. Building on its first AI factory in Hyderabad, the expansion is designed to give cloud providers, enterprises and AI developers access to large-scale computing capacity closer to where they build and deploy AI. These orders are in addition to the AMI's inaugural commitment announced on August 25, 2026, for 9,000 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs at its first AI Factory in Hyderabad. This follow-on capacity totalling ~70 megawatts (MW) will be deployed at Malaysia and India with delivery scheduled for Q2 2027. Taken together, the three orders bring AMI's committed frontier compute to approximately 29,000 Rubin GPUs and close to 100 MW of capacity, establishing AMI among the earliest and largest committed buyers of Rubin GPUs outside of North America. AMI plans to bring addit
