Molecular Biology

Molecular diagnostics, an application of biotechnology, applies the principles of basic molecular biology to the study of human diseases. Molecular diagnostics provides information related to molecular genetics research as real-time information for applications such as gene therapy, genetics screening, stem cell research, cloning and cell culture. This business unit is becoming one of the fastest growing areas in the IVD industry. The release of a complete mapping of the human genome in 2003 created an explosion of new testing, changed the future of genetic research, and opened new doorways in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Galenica has been providing expert advice to its customers base for the last 10 years. The Company’s portfolio extends from tests and equipment suitable for high-volume clinical laboratories to Point of Care systems for specialized low-volume laboratories.

Galenica groups six traditional sub-segments under this business line: Molecular Biology, Microbiology, A1C1 (diabetes) and Nucleic Acid Testing.
