Company makes diagnostic tests

A biotechnology company that relocated to Sioux Falls from California has settled into a laboratory here and has plans to grow.

AlphaGenix http://alphagenix.com/, which develops diagnostic and other tests for sale to research laboratories, moved to Sioux Falls from Carlsbad, Calif., earlier this year.

It was a move that state and local economic development leaders hope to see more of in coming years. Building a strong biotechnology and research infrastructure in South Dakota is a major element in Gov. Mike Rounds' 2010 initiatives.
