* On November 28, 2013, Biocartis has announced that bioMérieux and Biocartis have signed an agreement to end their alliance for the development and commercialization of the integrated molecular biology system, Idylla™ (previously Apollo), in the field of microbiology molecular diagnostics. bioMérieux will return all rights on the Idylla™ platform to Biocartis.
