About BCAL Diagnostics

BCAL Diagnostics Limited is an Australian screening and diagnostic company committed to the early, accurate diagnosis of breast cancer, and therefore early intervention and improved outcomes for women. 

Over the past decade, BCAL has been developing a non-invasive diagnostic technology to assist in the detection of breast cancer, with testing at this time demonstrating excellent performance independent of breast tissue density.

Our Story

A Leading Biotechnology Company

BCAL Diagnostics Limited, an Australian screening and diagnostic company, is dedicated to the early diagnosis of breast cancer, aiming to facilitate early intervention and enhance outcomes for women. Over the past decade, BCAL has engaged in the research and development of non-invasive diagnostic technologies designed to complement existing imaging technologies, such as the mammogram. In the future, the objective is to leverage the proposed technologies into a monitoring and screening tool accessible to women of all ages and backgrounds, regardless of location.

In response to the global burden of over two million new breast cancer cases annually, BCAL has joined forces with Precion Inc. to optimise protocols and procedures for essential clinical studies. This collaboration spans regulatory approvals across various jurisdictions, commercialisation, and market entry points. 

The BCAL laboratory, inaugurated in May 2023 in Sydney, Australia, employs cutting-edge Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) platforms to build on the company's clinical research and leverage progress. 

In August 2024 BCAL also established a North Carolina, United States of America, incorporated wholly owned subsidiary, BCAL Diagnostics Inc (BCAL US). The BCAL US research laboratory commenced operations on 2 September 2, 2024.


The BCAL laboratory advances clinical research while also serving as a testing site for ongoing and planned clinical validation studies. It is committed to establishing a Quality Management System (QMS) and protocols compliant with ISO 15189 and NPAAC standards, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) regulations for Certification, and the requirements of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (Cth). Founded in 2010, BCAL is headquartered in Sydney and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: BDX).

Our Vision

To deliver global customers an effective, best-in-class, blood-screening technology, benefiting physicians and patients alike.
