Veracyte has published new data confirming the analytical validity of its Envisia Genomic Classifier to help diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

It uses samples obtained through bronchoscopy to make an IPF or ILD diagnosis, achieving highly accurate, reproducible and reliable results across a broad range of conditions and variables.
