Spectral Diagnostics Inc.
 PROFILE
Angina or just "agita"? Spectral Diagnostics helps you find out. It makes blood test kits used by health care professionals to evaluate chest pain. Marketed under the Cardiac STATus name, the kits can detect proteins that are sloughed off by the heart during a cardiac episode. Timeliness is crucial when diagnosing the cause of chest pain, and the company's tests show results within minutes. Spectral Diagnostics develops and markets the kits through a joint venture with Princeton BioMeditech. Its Sepsis joint venture with Elan develops products to diagnose sepsis (infection). The company also has a product development alliance with a Sigma-Aldrich subsidiary and a sales agreement with Biovail.
