In vitro diagnostics

Biotech companies are a now a rapidly growing sector in Italy. In particular, new diagnostic systems based on biotechnological methods are one of the main businesses in this sector.

For Porto Conte Ricerche, the development of diagnostic systems is a natural progression from the results obtained through the technologies developed in the park and available for biomarker discovery. In the biomedical field, an effective diagnostic system offers the advantage of early detection, with immediate consequences for human and animal health, as well a substantial reduction in costs for the national health system.

For this reason, the goal of Porto Conte Ricerche is to develop technologies enabling to create diagnostic systems for human and veterinary medicine (immunodiagnostics and biosensors).In the area of agri-food production, innovative diagnostic systems allow the monitoring of nutritional and/or technological quality indicators (Foodomics). Through its workshops and experimental activity, Porto Conte Ricerche has developed several products in the field of in vitro diagnostics, some of which are protected by patents, and others, without patents, are in advanced stages of prototyping and ready to be put to use in industry.
