Genomed

What Genomed does

Genomed LTD is a privately held UK-based biotechnology company founded in 1991 that operates two integrated divisions. The first division develops, manufactures, and distributes molecular diagnostic test kits covering aneuploidy screening (Aneufast QF-PCR), HPV typing (f-HPV Typing Kit), thrombophilia genotyping (SNP Detective CVD-1 Panel), beta-thalassemia/sickle cell screening (SNP Detective HBB), familial Mediterranean fever (SNP Detective MEFV), Y chromosome microdeletion detection, and animal genotyping under the Genometry brand for equine and water buffalo parentage verification. The underlying technology is a five-dye fluorescent PCR and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification chemistry validated on Applied Biosystems ABI PRISM capillary electrophoresis platforms with GeneMapper/GeneMarker software integration.

The second division provides turn-key laboratory establishment services covering molecular, forensic, clinical genetics, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) laboratory design, equipment procurement, installation, staff training, kit adaptation, and accreditation support. Genomed has completed 18 such projects across 8 countries, with post-completion technical support and consumable supply commitments of up to 5 years.

The business model combines B2B product sales of kits in pack sizes of 25, 50, or 100 tests via direct sales and the Molgentix partner network (which distributes products in 40+ countries), with quote-based professional services and recurring consumable revenue for the turn-key laboratory installed base. Manufacturing is conducted to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13485:2003 standards, and key products carry IVD/CE conformity under EU Directive 98/79/EC. The company employs 11–50 people across its UK headquarters in London (Mayfair, W1) and Harrow-base.

Core offering

Genomed develops, manufactures, and distributes molecular-based diagnostic test kits based on Quantitative Fluorescent PCR (QF-PCR), multiplex ligation SNP detection, and capillary electrophoresis for clinical genetics, prenatal screening, HPV typing, thrombophilia, beta-thalassemia, and Y chromosome microdeletion detection. The company also provides turn-key laboratory establishment services, including laboratory design, equipment procurement, training, and accreditation support for molecular, forensic, and PGD laboratories worldwide.

Product overview

Genomed is a biotech company operating two divisions: (1) a molecular diagnostic kit portfolio and (2) a turn-key laboratory establishment service. The diagnostic kit division offers six products — Aneufast QF-PCR Kit (chromosomal aneuploidy screening), f-HPV Typing Kit (HPV viral typing), SNP Detective CVD-1 Panel (thrombophilia genotyping), SNP Detective HBB Kit (beta-thalassemia/sickle cell screening), SNP Detective MEFV Kit (familial Mediterranean fever genotyping), and Y Chromosome Microdeletion Detection Kit (male infertility diagnostics) — all based on multiplex PCR/ligation and capillary electrophoresis detection, sold alongside two animal genotyping kits (Genometry Equine and Genometry Water Buffalo). The turn-key laboratory division provides end-to-end lab setup (design, construction, equipment, training, accreditation, and post-installation support) for molecular biology, forensic, and clinical genetics facilities, having completed 18 projects across 8 countries.
