Modern molecular diagnostics is evolving rapidly, with PCR technologies playing an increasingly important role in everyday laboratory practice. As diagnostic capabilities continue to expand and the range of available molecular panels grows, so do the opportunities for applying PCR-based approaches across different areas of diagnostics.

Certest Biotec is a Spanish biotechnology company with more than 20 years of experience in developing solutions for in vitro diagnostics, driven by a clear commitment to continuous development, technological innovation and increasingly accurate and reliable diagnostics. Since its foundation in 2002, the company has steadily expanded both its portfolio and international presence and today offers more than 89 IVDR-certified products across different areas of molecular diagnostics.

This same drive to advance and broaden the possibilities of modern diagnostics is at the heart of the upcoming joint event by RIDACOM and Certest, dedicated to innovation and new opportunities in PCR diagnostics. The event will bring together leading specialists from across Bulgaria, laboratory professionals and Certest experts to exchange knowledge, experience and best practices.
