NeoGenomics Launches PanTracer LBx, Expanding Access to Comprehensive Genomic Profiling with Liquid Biopsy

New ctDNA-based test offers a flexible, guideline-driven solution for patients with advanced solid tumors when tissue is limited or unavailable

NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEO), a leading provider of oncology diagnostic solutions that enable precision medicine, today announced the launch of NEO PanTracer™ LBx, a blood-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) test, expanding the company’s PanTracer portfolio. PanTracer LBx is a noninvasive test designed to support therapy selection, trial matching, and longitudinal monitoring, empowering data-driven decisions even when tumor tissue is limited or unavailable.

“The launch of our liquid biopsy test positions us at the forefront of the precision oncology market,” said Tony Zook, Chief Executive Officer, NeoGenomics. “As demand grows for faster, less invasive, and more accessible genomic testing, PanTracer LBx expands our addressable market, enhances our clinical portfolio, and opens new revenue streams in both therapy selection, trial matching, and disease monitoring. It’s a strategic milestone that underscores our commitment to sustainable growth and clinical leadership.”

Using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from a simple blood draw, PanTracer LBx provides access to biomarker information when tissue samples are insufficient or unavailable. The test is designed to offer a seven-day turnaround time and analyze over 500 genes, including MSI and bTMB, to deliver timely, actionable insights. When indicated, it can be ordered as a standalone option, as a reflex when tissue testing fails, or concurrently with tissue analysis. Clinical applications include therapy selection, trial matching, and longitudinal monitoring.

PanTracer LBx strengthens NeoGenomics’ pan-solid tumor CGP portfolio, working seamlessly with tissue-based options like PanTracer Tissue, providing a testing strategy across a range of solid cancers. Complemented by a broad portfolio of testing services and dedicated clinical support, the launch expands NeoGenomics' position in the growing $3–5 billion liquid biopsy market and advances its goal of delivering deep insights to more patients across diverse care settings.
