Cytecs GmbH

Company / Organization

The Cytecs team has decades of experience in the development, production and implementation of affordable and secure diagnostics for infectious diseases in resource limited areas. Our product supports medical staff in fighting against the major health scourges like malaria, TB and HIV/AIDS. We made the essential CD4 counting for HIV/AIDS patients under treatment accessible for all people in the world by fair prices of about € 2.00 per test. Cytecs' maintenance free, LED-based fluorescence microscopes and freeze dried reagents for malaria and TB help to improve basic diagnostics in developing countries. Cytecs is also going to support a substantial need in women's health care. Our new HPV test – first time shown at World Health Assembly 2019 in Geneva – individually detects all high risk types of Human Papilloma Viruses, which causes cervical cancer and kills 250.000 women per year.
