MEDAC - diagnostics and therapy from a single source

Medac offers both diagnostics and therapeutics. Precise patient-specific diagnostics are crucial for optimizing therapeutic measures and achieving maximum therapeutic success.

Diagnostics

In the medac Diagnostics division, more than 20 employees are responsible for the provision of in vitro diagnostics (IVD). These are standardized methods and reagents that are used in specialized laboratories to examine patient samples and identify disease states. Blood, cerebrospinal fluid, urine and tissue are examined.

medac specializes in infection diagnostics, tumour diagnostics and life sciences research and works for general practitioners, laboratories in hospitals and research institutions.

Specialist for infection diagnostics

medac has decades of experience in the development of diagnostics for the detection of diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi.

To identify the acute phase of an infectious disease, medac diagnosticians provide laboratories with modern microbiological, molecular biological and immunohistochemical methods. This allows a wide range of pathogens to be detected directly.

medac offers IVD for the determination of pathogen-specific antibodies to check the stage of the disease, the immunological defense reaction or the success of a vaccination. Infection serology enzyme immunoassays meet the highest quality standards with the detection methods patented by medac.

The main areas of application of the infection diagnostic products are reproductive medicine, the diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy and transplantation diagnostics and the diagnosis of tick-borne diseases.

Specialist for tumor diagnostics

In the field of oncological diagnostics, medac focuses on the detection and differentiation of tumor tissue using special methods such as immunohistochemistry. This involves making tumor proteins visible under the microscope. The results often provide valuable information about the individual characteristics of the tumor, which helps doctors to select the appropriate therapy for the patient.

For tumor diagnostics, medac offers more than 4,000 individual reagents in tested and certified quality.

Partner for life sciences research

The highly qualified team of specialists - equipped with the extensive medac portfolio of antibodies and detection reagents - is available to advise on application technology issues for the diverse methods of life sciences research and the development of new diagnostic products in universities, research institutions and biotech companies.
