First conceived in 1989, Biomed Diagnostics is the resulting collaboration of two physicians who found themselves vulnerable without the necessary equipment during a mercy mission in Central America. Without the necessary refrigeration, practical supplies and laboratory instrumentation to identify which organisms were causing illness in local residents, they set about researching and developing innovative point of care devices with could be easily packaged and contained.
Their efforts over a 7-year pursuit culminated in the first InPouch® and InTray® culture systems. These fully enclosed tools provided an in-field solution to human and animal infections in third-world countries, ranches and rural communities. In 1996 the patents were obtained by Robert Hall and Jane Hall, the founding partners of Biomed Diagnostics. Specimen collection, culturing and transport could now be done in a single device - allowing medical professionals to accurately detect and differentiate various pathogens.
Today… Biomed honors our origins and is dedicated to combating health threats around the globe by providing the CDC and global health organizations tools in the surveillance of antibiotic-resistant causing microorganisms.
Every product we make is ready-to-use where you need it most — at the point-of-care.
Of course, you can still use them in the lab.
Today, we continue to partner with researchers, hospitals, humanitarian organizations, and laboratories the world over to design and develop prepared media in our unique devices. Every high-quality product is developed to comply with regulatory requirements, regardless of industry or field.
We stand with each of our international partners and customers to help navigate and comply with governmental import/export requirements and regulatory requirements of numerous health care organizations.
We listen intently to you, our customers, to understand what is critical in diagnostics: accuracy, cost, speed to result, and ease of use.
The success of InPouch® and InTray® devices in the field of culture diagnostics is derived from rigorous quality standards, years of product development and trouble-shooting with our customers to refine and design each device to meet their needs. From testing everything from hospital acquired infections, air- and water-borne disease, to parthenogenic fungi.
