Cellabs: We make customized diagnostic kits

Updated on 29 November 2012

We have developed diagnostic kits for detection of intestinal disorders caused by Giardia and Cryptosporidium parasites. Now these reagents have become the bench mark for testing the water samples in UK and Europe. These intestinal parasites can be prevented by testing drinking water across the world.

Our portfolio of specialist products cover medical problems in the developed and underdeveloped worlds. Rather than developing high revenue earning products, Cellabs wanted to focus on greater world problems and help patients in the low economic worlds. We provide high quality testing kits for reliable diagnosis of infectious diseases across the world.

With an objective to develop custom-made kits for infectious diseases, we work with the Walter Reed Army Institute of Medical Research, Maryland, US, to develop a complete panel of diagnostic devices for leishmania infection.

At Cellabs, we have made progress towards the identification of people, who are exposed to malaria before the appearance of symptoms. We have developed a reliable malaria antibody diagnostic test to assess exposure to malaria. This assay, called Pan Malaria Antibody, CELISA, detects exposure to all four main species of human malaria including P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae and P. ovale, of which the first three are relevant to India.
