Especially, Anyplex™ II HR Detection that can screen human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and provide its genotyping information. Other infectious disease test products such as test for sexually transmitted infections (STI), and respiratory bacteria/virus infections including pneumonia, cold, tuberculosis drug resistance have been to the fore that are expanding rapidly in the medical device market of Mexico.
Furthermore, they held a seminar to present the excellence of Seegene's unique multiplex technology. By presenting the clinical impact of HPV testing products and its success stories, many requests for product demonstration and clinical evaluation result has been received from the participants.
The director of Amplibio Seegene Diagnostics’ exhibit said, "This conference was a very good opportunity to enhance the status of Seegene in Mexico as having the excellent multiplex technology and specialized company for molecular diagnostics." The director also said, "Since we introduced the various product lineups and highly reliable results to the customers of the major and specialized hospitals of Mexico where a high barrier to entry has existed for sales, it is expected that entering the Mexican medical market will be more resilient.
