It specializes in developing and commercializing diagnostic kits and reagents for rapid detection of pathogens and genetic analysis, serving clinical, research, and industrial laboratories. The company's product portfolio focuses on streamlining workflows in microbiology, virology, and hygiene monitoring, positioning it as a niche player in the European diagnostics market.
