Core offering

Randox Food Diagnostics designs, manufactures, and sells food safety diagnostic testing products based on its patented Biochip Array Technology (BAT) and ELISA platforms, paired with proprietary analytical instruments. Its products screen food and feed samples (animal feed, cereals, honey, milk, meat, seafood, wine) for mycotoxins, antibiotic and antimicrobial residues, growth promoters, anthelmintics, coccidiostats, pesticides, and bovine pathogens, sold as reagent kits, biochip arrays, and bench-top/floor-standing analysers to laboratories, food producers, and government agencies.

Product overview

Randox Food Diagnostics provides a comprehensive food safety testing portfolio built around its patented Biochip Array Technology platform. The core offering consists of two testing platforms: Biochip Arrays (multiplex chemiluminescent assays enabling simultaneous detection of multiple analytes from a single sample) and ELISA Kits (high-specificity targeted assays for routine screening). Testing is conducted using proprietary instruments including the Evidence Investigator (semi-automated bench-top analyser), Evidence MultiSTAT (fully automated with results in under 20 minutes), and RX misano/monaco (dedicated wine and honey analysers). The product portfolio covers feed & cereals, milk, honey, meat & seafood, and wine matrices, with specialized arrays for mycotoxins (Myco 3/6/7/9/Flex/Spices), antimicrobials (Arrays I-V), anthelmintics, beta-lactams, coccidiostats, growth promoters, bovine pathogens, pesticides, and individual ELISA tests for specific contaminants.
