Scandinavian Diagnostics

What Scandinavian Diagnostics does

Scandinavian Diagnostics AB (commercial name: Scan Diagnostics / Scandiagnostics) is a privately held Swedish specialty distributor of microbiological and biochemical testing products serving the food industry, headquartered in Gothenburg and founded in 2015. The company's portfolio spans five principal categories — biochemistry (allergen detection, ELISA equipment, antibiotic residue, mycotoxin, GMO, enzyme, refractometer, vitamin, hormone, and pesticide tests), microbiology (AST, colony counters, PCR systems, chromogenic media, Compact Dry, water filtration, and virus detection), hygiene control (detectable safety products, data loggers, HACCP equipment, ATP cleaning validation, thermometers, sampling, and UV lamps), ECA-system electrochemical activation for sustainable disinfection, plus laboratory equipment and consumables. Featured items include USB stainless-steel temperature data loggers, RIDA®QUICK Gluten lateral flow tests, RIDA SMART BOX automated analysis units, and the Toucan Renew ECA platform — the bulk of these being third-party brands the company distributes rather than develops in-house, alongside its own go-to-market brand.

The company operates a B2B e-commerce-first go-to-market model, anchored by shop.scandiagnostics.se (WooCommerce) with pay-as-you-go per-order pricing visible only after login, and supplemented by phone and email ordering ([email protected], +46 31-792 20 20). It maintains a dual Nordic geographic footprint via a parallel Danish storefront at fooddiagnostics.dk and a published product catalog on Issuu. Customer segments are vertical-focused, primarily Swedish and Danish food manufacturers and food testing laboratories requiring rapid hygiene monitoring, allergen and antibiotic residue testing, microbiological quality control, and HACCP compliance. Revenue comes from one-time product sales of test kits and instruments, hardware sales of laboratory equipment, and ancillary services including ATP instrument calibration and provision of Certificates of Analysis. The company has 1–10 employees (four named: Roger Keszei, Mats Racklin, Erik Björkegren, Camilla Larsson), no disclosed funding, no disclosed revenue, and no patents, certifications, or named end-customer logos in the source data.

Direct peers

• Elitech Group: UK-based supplier of temperature monitoring, data loggers, and cold-chain compliance products. Scandinavian Diagnostics resells Elitech loggers under its hygiene/data logger line, making Elitech a direct product-line peer in the cold-chain monitoring category.
• Romer Labs: Global specialist in mycotoxin and food allergen testing kits (part of ERBER Group). Comparable as a food safety testing product supplier with a deep allergen/mycotoxin portfolio similar to Scandinavian Diagnostics' biochemistry category.
• Hygiena: Specialist in ATP hygiene monitoring and rapid microbial detection — overlapping directly with Scandinavian Diagnostics' ATP meters, data loggers, and chromogenic media offerings. Competes for the same Nordic food manufacturer QA budgets.
• R-Biopharm: German manufacturer of food diagnostics kits (allergens, mycotoxins, vitamins — including the RIDA® line that Scandinavian Diagnostics actively resells). Highly comparable as a food-safety testing product specialist, though at the manufacturing rather than distribution level.
• CDR FoodLab: Italian manufacturer of enzymatic food and beverage analysis systems (CDR BeerLab, WineLab, FoodLab) — these are the CDR systems Scandinavian Diagnostics distributes. Highly comparable technology/product focus.

Broad incumbents

• Neogen Corporation: Major food safety diagnostics platform formed by the merger of Neogen and 3M Food Safety. Sells pathogen detection, allergen ELISA kits, and sanitation products overlapping with Scandinavian Diagnostics' biochemistry, microbiology, and hygiene categories.
• bioMérieux: Global in-vitro diagnostics and industrial microbiology company with a dedicated food application range (PCR pathogen detection, chromogenic media). Overlaps with Scandinavian Diagnostics' microbiology category at much larger scale.
• SGS Food Services: One of the world's leading testing, inspection, and certification companies with a significant food testing vertical in the Nordics. Competes for the same food manufacturer QA budget from the lab services angle.
• Eurofins Scientific: World's largest food testing services group; while primarily a lab operator, Eurofins also supplies kits and reagents in some markets, making it an indirect competitor for Nordic food manufacturer QA budgets.
• Bio-Rad Laboratories: Global life science and food safety testing products company selling ELISA kits, PCR reagents, and chromogenic media. Comparable food safety product portfolio but at vastly larger scale and broader scope.
