Chinese molecular diagnostics company selling PCR reagents and instruments for infectious-disease and other testing.
Chinese molecular diagnostics company selling PCR reagents and instruments for infectious-disease and other testing.
Sells PCR test kits (reagents) plus the machines that run them; because reagents are generally tied to the instruments they run on, an installed instrument keeps pulling reagent orders. Sales jumped during the COVID-19 testing wave of 2020 to 2022 and then fell back as it turned to other disease areas and overseas markets.
In one line: A Chinese QIAGEN for molecular (PCR) diagnostics.
Moat: narrow (installed base, regulatory licence). Instrument-reagent lock-in and disease-testing registrations favor an incumbent supplier.
Headquarters: Changsha, Hunan, China · Employees: 2,128
