BST’s history dates back to 1975 when a biosensor research group started at the Berlin Academy of Sciences.
Already in 1982 the first European glucose analyzer based
on a multi-way glucose biosensor could be launched successfully.
Today, BST is market leader in multi-way biosensors in
Europe and an international operating company in e. g.
Asia, Eastern and Western Europe.
BST’s core competence is the development and production
of multi-way biosensors as well as instruments based on
these multi-way biosensors for laboratory and POCT applications. In addition to that also all related consumables are

Chipron GmbH develops and manufactures DNA macro
arrays on polymer supports. The company specializes
in assay development for pathogen detection, mutation
analysis and food analysis based on its proprietary LCDArray platform.
LCD-Array Kits for HPV typing, kras mutation analysis, detection of fungal or bacterial pathogens and meat species
identification are distributed in over 15 countries through
a network of distribution partners.
Apart from catalogue products Chipron offers customized
LCD-Array Kits for particular demands and has developed
over 100 of such assays during the last 5 years for industrial and governmental customers. LCD-Array Kits are
available as RUO or CE-IVD kits and as OEM products on
demand.
The minimal requirements for specific lab instrumentation
in combination with the simple but comprehensive data
readout by the SlideReader software make LCD-Arrays a
very robust and economical solution for virtually any laboratory with experience in PCR.

E.R.D.E.-AAK-Diagnostik GmbH is a diagnostics laboratory
that offers the detection of diverse autoantibodies (agAAB)
in sera.
Agonistic autoantibodies (agAAB) are directed against
cellular receptors, particularly those involved in heart function, blood pressure regulation and vascular diseases.
AgAAB are frequently detected in patients with:
11 DCM, Myocarditis:
agAAB against β1-adrenergic receptor and
M2-muscerinergic receptor
11 Hypertension:
agAAB against α1-adrenergic receptor
11 Diabetes type 2:
agAAB against α1- and AT1-adrenergic receptor
11 Dementia:
agAAB against α1- and β2-adrenergic receptor
To determine the agAAB-status different special analysis
techniques are used. The prevalence of the different agAAB
in the different diseases varies from 30 to 90 %.
Patients will benefit – at a given agAAB indication – from
a personalized, specific medicamentous therapy, which accounts for the agAAB induced malfunction of receptors.
The detection of the agonistic Autoantibodies (agAAB) is
realized by the following analysis techniques:
11 ELISA (not functional):
Detection of a single agAAB
11 BIOASSAY (functional):
Analysis of all agAAB of the sample
11 CALCIUM (functional):
Measurement of intracellular calcium transients
