NovoBay uses reasonable efforts to keep website content accurate and current, but information may change with product updates, research progress, collaboration arrangements, regulatory requirements or market conditions. Except as required by applicable law, NovoBay does not warrant that all information is complete, accurate, fit for a particular purpose or current at all times.

2. Not Medical Advice

Website content does not constitute medical advice, clinical diagnosis, treatment advice, patient-management guidance or a recommendation of any product, testing method or treatment plan. Qualified healthcare professionals must make clinical and treatment decisions independently in light of each patient's circumstances, complete clinical information, applicable guidelines, and local legal and regulatory requirements.

This website does not provide diagnostic or treatment services to patients. No person should make or change a medical decision solely on the basis of its content.

3. Product Regulatory Status and Intended Use

The registration status, intended use, scope and availability of products, reagents, tests, software, platforms and related applications described on this website may vary by jurisdiction. The official materials issued by the relevant developer, manufacturer, registration holder and regulator prevail.

Q-VELOX Q100 is a product and technology of KDX Biotech. Any statement on this website regarding its regulatory status applies only to the specific model expressly identified. It must not be understood to mean that other KDX Biotech products, related reagents, testing panels, all Molecular POCT technologies or the entire platform have obtained the same registration or approval.

The performance, intended use, regulatory status and supply scope of Polyseq Biotech's long-read nanopore sequencing platform and related technologies are subject to Polyseq Biotech's formal technical materials and applicable regulatory requirements.

Products, reagents, workflows or data marked "Research Use Only" or "RUO" are for research use only and must not be used for clinical diagnosis or patient-treatment decisions. Website content is not a statement that any product has been approved for sale, supply or clinical use in a particular jurisdiction.

4. Relationship Between NovoBay and Product or Technology Partners

NovoBay is a business development and project coordination company in precision medicine, principally providing market and opportunity assessment, partner connections, resource coordination, validation-pathway organization and commercialization support. NovoBay does not represent partner products or technologies as its own research, development or manufacturing output.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, relevant products, platforms, reagents, software, technical materials, images and trademarks are provided or owned by the respective developers, manufacturers, registration holders or rights holders. Product performance, technical support, training, supply, pricing, after-sales service and regulatory responsibilities remain with the relevant responsible parties under applicable agreements and laws.

Any promotional, agency, distribution, project-management or other commercial role undertaken by NovoBay for a product, including its geographic, product and time scope, is governed by a valid written agreement between NovoBay and the relevant party. Website content must not be interpreted as authority beyond such agreements, and a website reference or link does not by itself create a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency or other legal relationship between NovoBay and any third party.

5. Technical Data and Research Materials

Information concerning turnaround time, sample requirements, analytical performance, accuracy, concordance, sensitivity, specificity, sequencing quality, cost or other technical and economic metrics may come from product-owner materials, particular studies, validation projects or defined application scenarios. Results may be affected by sample type and quality, study design, equipment configuration, operating workflow, analytical methods, study population and clinical setting, and do not mean that the same result can be obtained in every setting.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, website content does not constitute a guarantee by NovoBay of product performance, research results, regulatory approval, project timelines, commercial returns or clinical outcomes. Anyone proposing to use the information for research, clinical, investment, procurement or regulatory decisions should review the complete materials and verify them with the relevant product owner, technology provider or professional adviser.

6. No Offer and Collaboration Discussions

Information on this website does not constitute an offer to sell, solicitation, quotation, investment advice, commitment or binding collaboration proposal for any product or service. Arrangements concerning product supply, pricing, service scope, project delivery, intellectual property, data use and collaboration responsibilities are subject to written agreements finally executed by the relevant parties.
