We are currently active in 145 countries around the world. 

Randox’s core business involves the global provision of analysers and consumable materials to healthcare laboratories, for the analysis of blood and other sample types. Randox has developed a range of analyser systems, including for clinical chemistry, immunoassay, and molecular analysis, alongside the supporting reagents. Randox also provides internal quality control and external quality assurance materials, which are essential to confirm the accuracy and precision of laboratory results. This enables accurate diagnosis by clinicians. 

What do you think sets Asia apart from the others when it comes to health, medical and laboratory innovation?

Asia is a dynamic market, agile in nature and with an understanding of the need for innovation in improving patient well-being and healthcare outcomes. This innovative approach is evidenced within the laboratories and in healthcare more generally - where modern technologies are rapidly being adopted.  Outside the laboratory setting there are a greater number of quality point of care devices allowing patients to be diagnosed more conveniently and closer to the point of need. 

As Randox is continually developing modern technologies with the ability to provide early patient diagnosis and prevention, Asia is a region with exciting potential.

Randox has subsequently committed significant resources to R&D and have revitalised the range of high-quality internal quality controls and external quality assurance that is available to laboratories. We are proud the bring these world-leading capabilities to MedLab Asia in 2023. 

Randox have expanded our EQA and QC portfolio to include coverage of PCR techniques for infectious diseases, via the QCMD and Qnostics brands. QCMD has over 100 programmes for EQA, and Qnostics covers a wide range of QC, linearity, and validation kit material to assist labs with the validation and monitoring of their PCR assays. We have found that these products have been especially useful in the post-pandemic era, as labs are now seeking to utilise additional PCR equipment, they brought in during COVID, by expanding their PCR test menu beyond respiratory diseases (e.g., to cover areas such as tuberculosis, STDs, gastrointestinal, etc).
