Regensburg Diagnostic and Analytic Laboratories in Upswing
The Regensburg Biotech company Davids Biotechnologie GmbH is located in the trade area of Burgweinting-Süd and operates successfully in the field of diagnostics with 400 m2 of very modern production laboratory space. Additionally the company is an recognised training facility (IHK) for biology and chemistry laboratory technicians. It all began with a doctorate at the University of Regensburg in 1996. With know-how regarding antibody production, Dr. Michael David created his own business and was successful with the services he provided. His products find industial application in the diagnosis of infectious disease, cancer, myocardial infarction, rheumatology and drug detection. In the realms of research the products are implemented in researching of the ageing process and in Azheimers disease, as a few examples.
In the last 10 years Davids increased its yearly turnover by 10%. Meanwhile 70% of its customers are derived from abroad, particularly from the EU with emphasis on Italy and France. The small company is also involved in current research projects. In one EU project, vaccines are being developed without the need for boosters, which is under discussion with the presence of swine flu and the side effects related to vaccination. Another exciting field of application is that of personalised therapy. Davids is already examining blood cells derived from patients with cancer, allowing doctors to test the efficacy and results of potential medicines. The small and successful company is financially in the black and well armed for the future. Doubling of the company’s working area, occupying the neighbouring free land, is a plausible possiblity for the next 5 years.
The company Delphitest GmbH is located in the picturesque old part of Regensburg and since its foundation six years ago it has demonstrated constant growth. The company is a specialist in DNA analysis of genetics and is one of the five largest laboratories for genealogy analysis in Germany. In the field of genealogy analysis (including paternity testing, genealogy) a high degree of quality management and data security is essential. This is performed in the company by two independent, external auditors per year. Currently accreditation in accordance with ISO 17025 is being prepared. This exemplary quality hat resulted in Delphitest being elected as chair of VALID e.V. This federal association has stipulated quality standards for laboratory analysis of DNA and backs up the reliability of the analyses, also bearing the clients in mind. Furthermore VALID is a point of contact for ministeries, press and associations with an interest in genealogy analysis.

As well as the USA, Delphitest is active in Portugal, Brasil, France, Rumania, Russia, and England. The portfolio has been expanded via American Delphitest to selected genetic testing for specific inherited diseases such as trisomy 21, Alzheimers, frontotemporal dementia and Canavan syndrome.
