Bioassays’ main activity is focused on the design and development of molecular In vitro Diagnostic systems for the accurate and specific detection of viruses affecting both human and lifestocks. The current developments address the increasing demand for rapid and sensitive POC diagnostics located at the focus on infectious diseases. For this purpose, we cooperate very closelywith academic reference laboratories in Spain and abroad. On the other hand, BioAssays SL is a biotechnological company that offers a platform for basic and applied research, aimed at the scientific-technical support to research laboratories in both academic and private centres focusing biomedical and biotechnological projects. We carry out several approaches for in vitro tests, protein interactions, double hybrid, applied biotechnology, synthetic biology, protein biochemistry, etc.
