Biomedical diagnostic tests are of ever increasing importance to modern healthcare and medicine. Applications range from screening for disease to allow early intervention, through to the management of chronic disease and the monitoring of health and wellbeing.

Two of the most widely used ‘biomedical diagnostic' tests include pregnancy tests and biosensors for the monitoring of blood glucose levels for diabetics.

Our worldwide reputation in biosensors and diagnostics has been built over 30 years, and has led to the development of products such as the amperometric mediated glucose oxidase based sensor used by diabetics around the globe now representing a global market of in excess of US$13Bn. We continue to build on our success and develop the area further with current research focusing on sensors for healthcare, food safety and environmental monitoring and detection.
