Currently one of the most popular topics for my consultation calls is about the liquid biopsy market. The companies listed below are either offering or developing non-invasive (no solid tissue biopsies) diagnostic and screening methods. While “liquid biopsy” usually means “high complexity NGS cancer test from a blood sample” to most people, there are actually plenty of exceptions (which partially explains why this list is so long). While NIPT is technically a type of liquid biopsy, it isn’t included in this list. The companies can be filtered and sorted by application, sample type, and analyte. See below descriptions of the acronyms used.
