Source: Media Outreach

BINZHOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 July 2026 – On July 19, Shandong’s Befar Group achieved a technological breakthrough in four key areas of process, engineering, testing, and filling to bring its high-purity hydrogen fluoride (HF) for semiconductor applications to the 6N grade (99.9999%). This milestone fills a production gap for high-purity hydrogen fluoride in Shandong Province.

High-purity hydrogen fluoride is a key raw material used in semiconductor chip etching and cleaning processes, often referred to as the “chemical scalpel” of semiconductor manufacturing. The 6N-grade product is an essential material for advanced process nodes of 28 nanometers and below. For years, core production technologies for this grade have been mainly provided by overseas companies, with domestic supply heavily reliant on imports.

Befar Group’s 6N-grade high-purity hydrogen fluoride laboratory

Befar Group overcame key technical hurdles, including multi-stage distillation coupling, selection of low-precipitation equipment materials, cylinder cleanliness and protection, and precise detection of trace impurities. The company maintains key metal-ion impurity levels below 1 part per billion (ppb), solving the problem of secondary contamination throughout the entire production, storage, and transportation chain. To date, the company has completed the construction and commissioning of a 50-ton-per-year high-purity hydrogen fluoride cylinder filling line. Having obtained the cylinder filling license from the Shandong Special Equipment Inspection Institute, the company has begun introducing its products to major customers at home and abroad. This marks a complete closed loop from laboratory R&D to industrial-scale production.

Thanks to its mass production capabilities, Befar Group will continue to deepen its expertise in high-end specialty gas technologies, expand its product portfolio of halogen-based electronic specialty gases, and develop electronic-grade hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, and other series products. By increasing locally supplied capacity, the company aims to ensure the secure and stable operation of the semiconductor industry chain.

BDMS Launches WellEra Bangkok, a US$865 Million Wellness Complex With Capella Hotel Group as the Residential Partner for Thailand’s First Capella Residences

Source: Media Outreach

A first-of-its-kind wellness ecosystem integrating healthcare, branded residences, hospitality and lifestyle, WellEra pioneers a new model for healthspan living where the home itself becomes the foundation of preventive healthcare

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 July 2026 – Bangkok Dusit Medical Services Public Company Limited (BDMS), one of Asia-Pacific’s leading healthcare providers, has unveiled WellEra Bangkok, an approximately US$865 million (THB 29 billion) wellness-integrated development that reimagines how the built environment can actively support healthier, longer lives.

Scheduled to open in 2030, WellEra defines a new paradigm for wellness real estate, integrating Scientific Wellness, preventive healthcare, luxury residences, hospitality and lifestyle within a single ecosystem. Developed under the concept “The DNA of World Well-Living,” the project combines BDMS’ medical expertise with the hospitality excellence of Capella Hotel Group as its residential partner, which will introduce Thailand’s first Capella Residences as the branded residential component of the development.

The launch comes as longevity reshapes global consumer priorities. While life expectancy continues to increase, healthy life expectancy or healthspan has not kept pace, fueling growing demand for preventive healthcare, personalized medicine and environments that promote long-term wellbeing.

“Healthcare is no longer defined solely by hospitals,” said Dr. Poramaporn Prasarttong-Osoth, Chairperson of the Executive Committee and President of BDMS. “The next frontier is creating environments that help people stay healthier for longer. WellEra reflects our vision that health should be embedded into the places where people live, work and connect, making wellbeing part of everyday life rather than something people seek only when they become ill.”

Unlike conventional luxury developments that simply add wellness amenities, WellEra is rooted in the Scientific Wellness philosophy pioneered by BDMS Wellness Clinic. Over more than two decades, BDMS Wellness Clinic has helped shape preventive and personalized healthcare through clinical practice, scientific research and real-world health insights. Today, that expertise has been translated into WellEra through the proprietary 6S+ Living Framework; a holistic approach built around six dimensions of healthy longevity: Sleep, Strong, Soul, Smart, Social and Span, together with evidence-based environmental principles (Surrounding) covering air, water, light, sound and thermal comfort. The result is a living environment where architecture, environmental engineering and personalized healthcare work together, allowing the home itself to become an integral part of preventive healthcare.

The development comprises four interconnected components: BDMS Wellness Clinic, Capella Residences Bangkok at WellEra, an Urban Wellness Retreat and Lifestyle Retail, creating a continuous ecosystem that supports prevention, recovery and long-term wellbeing.

“Scientific evidence shows that our health is shaped not only by genetics or medicine, but also by the environments we experience every day,” said Dr. Tanupol Virunhagarun, Chief Executive Officer of BDMS Wellness Group. “WellEra transforms decades of medical knowledge into a living ecosystem where architecture, technology and personalized healthcare work together to extend not only lifespan, but healthspan. Our ambition is to make the home itself an integral part of preventive healthcare.”

Spanning more than 2 million square feet (over 200,000 square metres), WellEra has been designed to achieve internationally recognised wellness and sustainability standards, including WELL Platinum, LEED Gold and Fitwel 3-Star certifications. Residents will also benefit from Healthcare Humanware by BDMS—a personalized healthcare ecosystem providing 24-hour clinical support, preventive health services and lifelong wellness management.

WellEra marks BDMS’ evolution beyond healthcare, translating decades of Scientific Wellness expertise into a new model for healthspan-oriented, wellness-integrated living in Asia.

Phancy (6682.HK) issues positive profit alert for first half of 2026

Source: Media Outreach

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 July 2026 – Phancy Group Co., Ltd. (“Phancy” or the “Company”; stock code: 6682.HK) today announced a positive profit alert for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (the “Period”). Based on a preliminary assessment of the unaudited consolidated management accounts for the Period, the Company expects to record a significant increase in operating revenue. Profit attributable to owners of the Company is also expected to show a substantial improvement from the loss recorded in the corresponding period of 2025, turning from loss to profit.

Solid revenue growth

During the Period, the Company expects to record operating revenue of approximately RMB3.2 billion to RMB4.0 billion, representing an estimated increase of about 22% to 52% compared with the same period in 2025. In addition, profit attributable to owners of the Company is expected to be in the range of approximately RMB90 million to RMB130 million, representing a marked improvement compared with the loss recorded in the corresponding period of 2025.

Growth drivers

The strong revenue growth has mainly been driven by the continued upgrade of the shared technology platform underpinning Phancy’s various business lines. The enhanced platform capabilities have attracted more enterprise customers and stimulated demand. At the same time, the throughput efficiency of the Company’s self-owned and leased computing power resource tokens has increased significantly, accelerating the release of token productivity and in turn supporting faster growth in operating revenue.

The expected turnaround in profit attributable to owners of the Company from loss to profit has primarily been attributable to three factors:

  • rapid growth of the Company’s principal businesses;
  • a substantial improvement in sales expenses as a percentage of revenue compared with the same period last year, resulting in a healthier cost structure; and
  • a sharp year-on-year increase in net other income and gains, mainly due to an increase in the fair value of the Company’s investment projects.

Phancy expects to announce its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 by the end of August 2026. The Company will continue to pursue technological innovation and open collaboration, further enhance its full-stack AI cloud platform, and advance its “Token Factory” into more industry scenarios to unlock new-quality productivity.

A Defining Milestone for Gene Solutions: SPOT-MAS Multi-Cancer Screening Test Receives U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device Designation

Source: Media Outreach

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 July 2026 – Gene Solutions – a global biotechnology company advancing accessible genomic solutions for cancer detection and precision oncology, announced that SPOT-MAS 10 has received Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This designation marks an important regulatory milestone for Gene Solutions and reflects the continued progress of SPOT-MAS as an AI-powered, multi-omic platform for early cancer detection.

SPOT-MAS Multi-Cancer Screening Test Receives U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device Designation

The proposed indications for use describe SPOT-MAS 10 as a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test performed on plasma derived from a single direct-draw venous whole blood specimen. The test analyzes circulating cell-free DNA methylation and fragmentomic signatures using a machine-learning-based algorithm to detect a cancer-associated signal. It is intended for use as an adjunctive screening test in asymptomatic adults aged 40 years and older to assist in detecting cancers within the scope of the assay. These include five common cancers — breast, lung, liver, colorectal and gastric cancers — and five aggressive, less common cancers that currently lack standard screening methods — ovarian, pancreatic, esophageal, endometrial and head & neck cancers.

SPOT-MAS has been developed through years of rigorous scientific research and clinical development. In March 2025, SPOT-MAS became the first multi-cancer screening blood test in Asia to complete a large prospective cohort validation, with the K-DETEK study evaluating more than 9,000 asymptomatic participants and demonstrating strong performance, including high specificity and the ability to identify cancer-associated signals across multiple cancer types.

Since then, SPOT-MAS has been used in more than 100,000 individuals in real-world practice, with consistent performance observed beyond controlled study settings. Real-world data were presented at ESMO Asia 2025 and were featured at ASCO Breakthrough 2026 in Singapore.

The platform is built on a multi-omic approach— integrating genetics, epigenetics, and fragmentomics — together with AI-driven analysis, large-scale prospective validation, growing real-world evidence and focus on cancer types with high clinical relevance in the regions where the test is deployed.

For the United States, Breakthrough Device Designation provides Gene Solutions with a prioritized channel of engagement with the FDA as the company advances its U.S. development and validation plans.

Looking ahead, Gene Solutions will continue to collaborate with academic, clinical, laboratory, commercial and strategic partners to support responsible adoption of SPOT-MAS in accordance with local regulations, clinical guidelines and best practices.

Important Regulatory Notice: SPOT-MAS 10 has received U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device Designation. Breakthrough Device Designation is not FDA approval, clearance or marketing authorization. The device remains subject to applicable FDA regulatory review requirements, and the designation does not guarantee future FDA approval, clearance or authorization.

St Francis Methodist School International Shares 2023–2024 WACE Outcomes and Student Journeys

Source: Media Outreach

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 July 2026 – St Francis Methodist School International (SFMS) has released its latest academic results for students in the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) programme. The outcomes reflect steady ATAR performance and a range of university placements through the school’s pre-university programmes.

St Francis Methodist International School pre university programmes

Overview of the WACE Curriculum at SFMS

SFMS International is among a small number of institutions in Singapore offering the WACE curriculum and has delivered this programme for over 23 years. The WACE is a recognised senior secondary qualification awarded by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Western Australia. It prepares students for university admission both locally and internationally.

SFMS is also currently the only school in Singapore offering a Senior High Preparatory Pathway (WACE) for students in Years 9–10. This introduces students to the structure and expectations of the curriculum earlier, building familiarity with subject content and assessment formats before progressing to the senior years. Additionally, subject selection in Years 11A and 12A is structured to meet university entry requirements and reflect students’ academic interests.

Academic Outcomes and University Placements

In 2023, 8 out of 12 WACE graduates from SFMS International achieved ATAR scores above 90, meeting the eligibility criteria for universities such as the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The cohort’s top scorer, Wang Dawei, recorded an ATAR of 96.15 and enrolled at NTU to study Business and International Trading. In addition to local placements, graduates were admitted to international universities such as the University of Melbourne and Fudan University in China.

In 2024, 2 out of 8 graduates also attained ATAR scores above 90. The highest scorer, Youn Chae-Won, achieved an ATAR of 95.3. Her university placement is currently pending.

Student Journeys and Holistic Development

Students in the WACE programme at SFMS International engage in both academic and co-curricular activities as part of their overall learning experience. Recent graduates have taken part in service learning, subject specialisation, and personal reflection throughout their time in the pre-university programme.

Youn Chae-Won, the 2024 valedictorian, joined SFMS International from Korea in 2021. Over time, she adjusted to a new academic environment and explored subjects such as accounting, which influenced her interest in finance-related pathways. She also took part in various aspects of school life, including a service learning trip to Bintan in 2023, where students supported local sanitation efforts. Her involvement in both academic and co-curricular settings marked a broad engagement with school life during her time at SFMS.

Andrew Zhuang, who enrolled in SFMS International in 2019, pursued subjects such as Business Management, Accounting, and English as an Additional Language (EALD). Beyond academics, he was involved in community fundraising and joined the same Bintan service trip. He also attended weekly chapel sessions and received support from peers and teachers during a period of health-related absence.

These outcomes reflect the ongoing role of the WACE programme at SFMS International in supporting students through both academic pathways and broader educational experiences. Under the leadership of Principal Mr Lee Hak Boon, the school continues to emphasise academic planning, subject selection, and student wellbeing as part of its overall approach to pre-university education.
