TDI

What TDI does

TDI (Tecnología de Diagnóstico e Investigación / TDi - Technology for Diagnostics and Research) is a privately held Spanish limited liability company founded in Madrid in 1988, specializing in the manufacture, distribution, and integration of biotechnology laboratory tools. The company's core offering spans six operational divisions: air purification and HEPA filtration systems, biological safety and laminar flow cabinets, clean room installation services, molecular biology laboratory equipment, animal facility equipment, and an ENAC-accredited testing laboratory. Its technical stack centers on H14-class HEPA filtration (99.995% MPPS / 99.999% efficiency at 0.3 microns), biological containment capabilities from BSL1 through BSL3/P3 (with P4 referenced as the upper regulatory envelope under UNE EN 12128), and clean room construction compliant with UNE EN ISO 14644, GMP, and GLP standards.

The business operates an integrated go-to-market model combining direct field sales, equipment distribution agreements with Vilber Lourmat and N-BIOTEK, and turnkey project execution through an in-house facilities department staffed by engineers, architects, and risk-prevention technicians. Validation is performed by its own ENAC-accredited testing laboratory (UNE-EN ISO/IEC 17025), allowing TDI to deliver a single-source solution from design through accredited commissioning. All sales are project-based and quoted on request; no public pricing or e-commerce channel exists. Revenue is generated across four streams: clean room and containment installation services, laboratory equipment distribution, ENAC-accredited testing services, and air purification hardware.

TDI's customer base is concentrated in Spanish public-sector life sciences — universities, hospitals, and government research institutes (including CSIC, CNIC, ISCIII, INIA-CISA, IDIBAPS, and multiple hospital complexes) — supplemented by international distribution to EU member states, seven Latin American countries, and Morocco. The company operates from a headquarters recently relocated to the Parque Tecnológico Tecnoalcalá in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, supported by three regional sales delegations in Barcelona, Santiago de Compostela, and Sevilla.
