History

Ulrich Spengler, managing director of altona Diagnostics GmbH, and his partners Markus Hess and the late Thomas Laue from the R & D department share a long-time experience in molecular diagnostics, especially in infectious diseases, dating back to their common years spent at the Bernhard-Nocht-Institute for Tropical Medicine in Hamburg, Germany.

Part of the portfolio of diagnostic test systems for tropical and emerging infectious diseases has been developed in collaboration with the Bernhard-Nocht-Institute for Tropical Medicine, Hamburg, co-funded by the European Fund for Regional Development (ERDF) Hamburg.

Following this tradition the altona Diagnostics team actively develops and commercializes new molecular diagnostic assays – fast, flexible, reliable and close to the customer needs – as an answer to common and emerging infectious diseases.
