Molecular Diagnostics

Results in Excellence.

Molecular precision for aquatic, animal and environmental health. Validated methods, clear reports, results in days.

Aligned with One Health

Rapid, reliable, integrated diagnostics.

BioDetect is a University of Patras spin-out delivering molecular diagnostics across five domains — aquaculture, veterinary, environmental, food and vector surveillance. We identify bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic threats quickly and accurately, then return clear reports you can act on. One team, one method, aligned with One Health: rapid, reliable, integrated.

What we do

Five domains, one laboratory.

Bench-side molecular work spanning aquaculture, the environment and the wider molecular-diagnostics catalogue — bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, identified with method-level rigour.

Aquaculture Diagnostics

Fish and shrimp health, from cage to lab. We detect the pathogens that threaten stock — bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic — and support biosecurity across the farm. Trusted by Greek and Mediterranean producers.

  • PCR
  • qPCR
  • microbiology
  • antibiotic susceptibility

Environmental Monitoring

Diagnostics for water, soil and the food chain. We screen environmental samples for biological hazards and invasive or pathogenic species, supporting surveillance and risk assessment in the field.

  • eDNA
  • qPCR
  • metagenomics (NGS)
  • microbiology

Molecular Diagnostics

Bench-side molecular work across all domains. Rapid detection of bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites by microscopy, histology, microbiology and molecular methods — with strain characterisation and antibiotic susceptibility where it matters.

  • PCR
  • qPCR
  • sequencing (NGS)
  • LAMP
  • CRISPR/Cas

Food Safety

Microbiological testing for food producers and the agri-food sector. We detect foodborne pathogens — Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli, Enterobacteriaceae, Bacillus cereus — and run total counts, allergen and shelf-life testing on food, water, surface and air samples.

  • PCR
  • qPCR
  • microbiology
  • total counts
  • allergen testing

Vector Surveillance

Public-health entomology and disease-vector surveillance. We identify mosquitoes and vectors to species level and screen them for pathogens such as West Nile virus — supporting surveillance and integrated mosquito-management programmes.

  • microarray
  • PCR
  • surveillance

Who we serve

Across human, animal and environmental health.

We serve aquaculture producers, veterinary practices, agri-food businesses and environmental projects — across human, animal and environmental health.

  • Aquaculture producers
  • Veterinary practices
  • Agri-food businesses
  • Environmental projects

Why BioDetect

Results in Excellence.

Rapid

Results in days, not weeks.
