Elitech Group product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Elitech Group develops, manufactures, and markets in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) products organized into three business areas: Molecular Diagnostics (PCR-based sample-to-result systems such as InGenius and BeGenius plus CE-IVD/IVDR assay kits), Biomedical Systems (automated slide stainers, osmometers, cytocentrifuges, ESR analyzers, chloridometers, digital cell analyzers), and Microbiology (human and veterinary diagnostic kits and sampling/transport products). It also sells proprietary MGB (Minor Groove Binder) probe chemistry and reagents used across its assay portfolio.
Product overview
ELITechGroup is an integrated in-vitro diagnostics company organized into three specialized business units: Molecular Diagnostics (MDx), Biomedical Systems (EBS), and Microbiology (EM). The Molecular Diagnostics division centers on three sample-to-result PCR platforms: ELITe InGenius (launched 2016), ELITe BeGenius (launched 2021), and the recently launched MyGenius PRO (2026, developed with Hitachi High-Tech). The portfolio includes nearly 60 CE-IVD/IVDR assays using proprietary MGB (Minor Groove Binder) probe technology, including gastrointestinal panels (Bacterial, Parasitic, Viral, Norovirus kits), infectious disease tests (HIV, HCV, HBV, CMV, EBV, BK virus), and respiratory panels. The Biomedical Systems unit offers slide stainers (Aerospray), osmometers (Osmomat), cytocentrifuges (CytoPro), ESR analyzers, digital cell analyzers, and the ChloroChek Chloridometer. The Microbiology unit provides products for urogenital mycoplasma, pathogenic yeast, UTI, and veterinary diagnostics.
