Molecular Diagnostics is the state of the art in Diagnosis of infectious diseases. It works on the principle of DNA amplification, hence provides the ability to diagnose disease early in infection because of its excellent sensitivity and specificity. This technique has thus far, been limited to centralized laboratories due to dependency on complex and expensive infrastructure, highly skilled manpower, special storage conditions and need for batch testing. This results in high turn round time and poses major logistics challenges such as sample degradation, contamination, delays, etc. 

Molbio now offers a 'global first' platform that can perform Molecular Diagnostics for infectious diseases at the point-of-care - Truelab Real Time Quantitative micro PCR System. This compact battery-operated system has single testing capability and provides sample to result within 1 hour. Hence, it enables same day reporting and initiation of evidence-based treatment for the patient. It also has real-time data transfer capability (through SMS/E-mail/data push) for immediate reporting of results in emergency cases.
