The desire for good health is universal. When illness enters our lives, we turn to our health-care provider for advice and care. We want a quick and firm diagnosis and the best possible treatment. Orion Diagnostica's diagnostic tests help health-care professionals by providing evidence-based support for clinical decision-making.

Orion Diagnostica is developing, manufacturing and marketing diagnostic tests and test systems mainly for hospitals, healthcare centres and their laboratories as well as for the needs of doctors’ offices. The Business unit specialises in in-vitro diagnostic tests and test systems, which are designed to assist health-care professionals in diagnosing patients' conditions, making appropriate treatment decisions and following up treatments.

The focus is on point-of-care tests, i.e. tests performed near the patient, which are easy to use and provide an instant test result. Orion Diagnostica provides also large and middle size clinical laboratories with tests and test systems.  Besides clinical diagnostic tests, Orion Diagnostica also produces hygiene monitoring tests for industrial sites and food processing industry, which are designed for detection of microbial contaminants and for monitoring the efficacy of cleaning and disinfection procedures. The wide product range includes also products manufactured by Orion Diagnostica’s partners.
