What Omega Diagnostics does

Omega Diagnostics Ltd is a UK-based in-vitro diagnostics company that develops, manufactures, and markets food sensitivity and gut health testing products. The company operates two principal products: FoodPrint®, a CE Marked laboratory microarray test that quantitatively analyses IgG antibody reactivity to up to 222 foods and processes up to 128 patient samples in four hours with internal duplicate controls; and Food Detective®, an ELISA-based point-of-care test for 59 commonly eaten foods that delivers semi-quantitative results in 40 minutes for in-clinic use by practitioners. Both products are built on established immunological assay technology rather than AI/ML, and are supported by the FoodPrint Assure EQAS quality-monitoring programme.

The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cambridge Nutritional Sciences Plc and operates from a manufacturing and operational headquarters in Littleport, Cambridgeshire, with a registered office in Edinburgh, Scotland. Its customer base spans more than 160 medical laboratories worldwide and a long tail of healthcare practitioners across functional medicine, naturopathic medicine, sports medicine, and broader health and wellness verticals, served through direct sales and a network of export distributors covering 63-80+ countries. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of test kits, laboratory platforms (with associated software, training, and installation), and recurring consumable pull-through.

Omega Diagnostics holds ISO 13485:2016, MDSAP, and CE Mark certifications aligned with Directive 98/79/EC and EU IVDR 2017/746, which collectively support market access across major regulatory jurisdictions and represent a meaningful competitive barrier. Distribution is conducted via a restricted online distributor portal, direct enterprise sales to laboratories, and field sales to mid-market practitioners. The company is actively pursuing geographic expansion (notably into the Middle East via WHX Labs Dubai in February 2026) and operates with a headcount in the 101-250 range.

Core offering

Omega Diagnostics develops, manufactures, and markets pioneering IgG-based food sensitivity and gut health diagnostic test kits for healthcare practitioners and medical laboratories worldwide. Its two flagship products are FoodPrint®, a CE-marked laboratory microarray test providing quantitative analysis of food-specific IgG antibodies to up to 222 foods, and Food Detective®, an ELISA-based semi-quantitative point-of-care test covering 59 commonly eaten foods with results in 40 minutes.

Product overview

Omega Diagnostics offers two main diagnostic products for food sensitivity testing: FoodPrint® and Food Detective®. FoodPrint® is a comprehensive CE Marked laboratory test using microarray technology that can analyze up to 222 food antigens and is designed for high-throughput laboratory settings, capable of processing up to 128 patients in 4 hours. Food Detective® is a rapid ELISA-based test designed for in-clinic use by healthcare practitioners, testing for IgG antibodies to 59 foods with results available in 40 minutes. Both products work by detecting food-specific IgG antibodies to guide elimination diets and help manage food sensitivities.
