Molecular diagnostics

For molecular diagnostics Roche develops and produces innovative tests based on the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The tests developed for oncology, virology, Human papilloma virus (HPV), microbiology and for screening blood products are used around the world by researchers, doctors, patients, hospitals, laboratories and blood banks. A new generation of tests supports healthcare providers in choosing medications based on molecular characteristics of diseases and in monitoring treatments.

Roche's legacy of innovation includes transforming next-generation sequencing and its applications. By simplifying workflows and expanding assay menus, we are broadening access to genomic data. We aim to make next-generation sequencing routine and develop a complete sequencing solution from “Sample In” to “Result Out”.
