Auroprobe Laboratories

Research And Development

Research is the cornerstone of the company’s mission. One of the major research areas or our R&D Division is the development of Molecular Diagnostic assays for locally isolated strains of organisms and for diseases peculiar to the Indian sub-continent, like Kala Azar and Dengue Hemorrhagic fever. The research & development activities undergoing at Auroprobe includes:

	Standardizing molecular diagnostic assays & developing in-house protocols and innovations to bring to bring down the cost of such assays, to make them affordable to the common man in less developed countries.
	Developing new assays and kits not so far available anywhere in world for diseases prevailing in tropical countries like India e.g. molecular diagnostic assays for Leishmania and Dengue fever.
	Undertaking contract research, including clinical trials, for other organizations.
