Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• GenientcoreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ Distributor · 1 March 2026In March 2026, AITbiotech formalized an exclusive distribution agreement with Genient, a Noida-headquartered clinical genomics and molecular diagnostics company founded in 2017. Under this partnership, Genient will distribute AITbiotech's advanced NGS platforms including the abSEQ™ Genetic Sequencer and abTRON™ Intelligent Center exclusively across Indian clinical laboratories. The partnership aims to expand access to clinically validated genomic diagnostics beyond metropolitan hospitals to district-level laboratories, public health institutions, and regional cancer centres throughout India, addressing historical constraints related to cost, supply chain complexity, and limited local technical support infrastructure.
