Pacific Edge is planning to open its first US franchise to market bladder cancer detection test, Cxbladder(R), by the end of the year.

The New Zealand business is joining Pennsylvania research facility Hershey Center for Applied Research (HCAR), and intends to set up shop next to its technology suites.

The project will open in August and provide state-subsidised lab and office suites for technology companies.

The Pacific Edge facility will serve as an office and processing facility for analysis of the Cxbladder(R) test, which uses the genes in a patient's urine to detect the presence of bladder cancer.

The launch of the franchise also calls for approximately 100 people to be hired in Pennsylvania over the next three years.
