   Bio-Rad Seeks Clearance
   For an AIDS Blood Test

   RICHMOND, Calif. -- Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc. said it
filed an application with the Food and Drug Administration
for approval of a new blood-screening test.
   The test is designed to detect differences between people
who will develop acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or
AIDS, and those who have been exposed to the virus but remain
healthy.
   The company said its test is being evaluated in
cooperation with the National Institutes of Health, in a
study of people at high risk for the disease.
