Genetech Molecular Diagnostics is Sri Lanka’s first biotech company.
It is the only institution in Sri Lanka where the latest methods in
molecular biology and gene technology will be used for the delivery of
diagnostic services, ranging from diagnosis of infectious diseases,
genetic disorders, to cancer screening. It will also offer parentage
testing services, and testing of genetically modified food. Genetech
will also become Sri Lanka’s first private scientific research
institute. Genetech’s research will be geared towards developing
better methods for a wider range of applications in molecular
diagnostics.
Genetech has all the facilities to ensure that an international quality
service is provided. Genetech possesses brand new, high precision
equipment, which are used by leading molecular diagnostic laboratories
abroad. Chemicals and other consumables used by Genetech will be those
that are made specifically for molecular biological applications, and
they meet international standards.
Genetech will also ensure that standards of laboratory organization,
management, analysis methodology, precision, quality control, security
and safety are maintained at levels recommended by international
laboratory accreditation organisations. All the diagnostic tests done by
Genetech will first undergo optimization and validation prior to being
