Antigen and antibody testing (IgM/IgG/IgA) using ELISA, immunofluorescence and rapid assays.
Antimicrobial Resistance
Phenotypic and molecular characterisation of antimicrobial resistance to support stewardship and targeted therapy.
Genome Sequencing
Next-generation and Oxford Nanopore whole genome sequencing for pathogen characterisation, resistance analysis and outbreak investigation.
Every infection
leaves a signature.
We read it.
Molecular diagnostics, mycobacteriology, culture & AST, serology and Nanopore genomics — from sample to answer in as little as 24 hours, out of our BSL-3 facility in Kolkata.

Grounded in published science
WHO Consolidated Guidelines on Tuberculosis: Module 3 — Diagnosis: Rapid Diagnostics for Tuberculosis Detection
WHO Guidelines · 2021 (updated)
WHO recommendations on rapid molecular diagnostics for TB, including Xpert MTB/RIF and line probe assays, and their place within diagnostic algorithms. These are international guidelines; they do not constitute ID Labs validated performance data.
Rapid Molecular Detection of Tuberculosis and Rifampin Resistance
New England Journal of Medicine · 2010
Multicentre evaluation of the Xpert MTB/RIF assay demonstrating rapid, sensitive detection of tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance directly from sputum, compared with smear microscopy and culture.
Duration of hypotension before initiation of effective antimicrobial therapy is the critical determinant of survival in human septic shock
Critical Care Medicine · 2006
Landmark study showing that each hour of delay in effective antimicrobial therapy after the onset of septic shock is associated with a measurable decrease in survival — the evidence base for rapid diagnostics in sepsis.
