About AthenaTecs
AthenaTecs believes that rapid diagnosis in the field is the most effective way to prevent or control epidemics, which may have huge public health and economic impact. To achieve this AthenaTecs is committed to bring improved or novel molecular biology tests and serological assays. To this end, AthenaTecs intends to achieve this by acting as a distributor and reseller of innovative products and portable lab equipment with clear advantages over conventional methods. But, AthenaTecs is more than a distributor or reseller. At AthenaTecs we also develop serological and molecular assays for the diagnosis of veterinary and human viral diseases. AthenaTecs focuses on point-of-care and field testing of neglected viral diseases or viral diseases with an economic impact.
Portable, field-ready laboratory equipment can range from truly handheld single-function instruments, often battery-powered, to suitcase-sized systems with comparable capabilities to their benchtop counterparts. Advances in miniaturization mean that today’s fieldtesting equipment minimizes the tradeoffs among portability, sensitivity, and resolution often seen with older systems. For an overview of our products, see AthenaTecs shop.
In addition, AthenaTecs aims to develop or improve assays for serological and molecular diagnostics with high quality, ease of use and speed. Our management and development teams have decades of experience at the cutting-edge of biotechnology. Our expertise and passion drive us to become leader in the field of field (and point-of-care diagnostics) while ensuring quality and affordable prices.
AthenaTecs also provides specialized diagnostics services for some viruses, such as seal mammal morbilliviruses, seal mammal herpesviruses, and nonhuman primate viruses.
