After its foundation in 1980, BIOREBA AG has been involved in the area of plant pathogen diagnostics (viruses, bacteria, fungi and phytoplasma) –for many years using serological methods for laboratory use. In the last 15 years, it has been engaged in molecular detection methods as well. All our ELISA tests and most of our molecular based diagnostic tests are approved for use in our accredited (ISO/IEC 17025) testing service laboratory. The development, validation and commercialization of diagnostic kits is the core competence of BIOREBA. The independent private Swiss company was started in close collaboration with Agroscope, the Swiss centre of excellence for research in the agriculture and food sector. Since then, BIOREBA AG has established cooperation with numerous other research institutes and universities in many countries.
