Lakewood, N.J.-based anatomic pathology testing provider PLUS Diagnostics continues to expand with the opening of a West Coast facility in Orange County, Calif. In addition, PLUS will expand its East Coast footprint when it moves in to a new laboratory in Union, N.J. in August. This New Jersey expansion will triple its overall lab capacity, according to company CEO Doug Berg.

Last year, PLUS refined its platform business—genitourinary (GU) pathology—and entered the gastrointestinal (GI) pathology market, currently valued at between $1 billion and $1.5 billion in the United States. Now, Berg said the company will use the West Coast lab to launch its hematology/oncology pathology testing services later this year.
