DiaSorin offers diagnostic assays employing two of the most common technologies in in vitro diagnostics: immunodiagnostics and molecular diagnostics. Both technologies are based on automated technological platforms developed by DiaSorin in collaboration with partner companies on specifications provided by DiaSorin.[1]
DiaSorin's "core business" is the design and development of diagnostic test kits (reagents) that run on such platforms.
DiaSorin also focuses on the development of research and laboratory kits in the field of molecular diagnostics, particularly specializing in the infectious diseases sector with tests that use different matrices including blood, cerebrospinal fluid, cutaneous and mucus swabs.[2][3]
