ABL Diagnostics Signs Distribution Agreement with Anatech to Expand Molecular Detection in South Africa, Southern Africa

WOIPPY, FRANCE, July 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ABL Diagnostics (FR001400AHX6 – ABLD, the “Company”), a Euronext-listed leader in molecular diagnostics, is pleased to announce a distribution agreement with Anatech Instruments (Pty) Ltd (https://anatech.co.za). Under this partnership, Anatech will promote and commercialize ABLD’s DeepChek® (non-exclusive distribution) and UltraGene (exclusive distribution) molecular assays across laboratories in South Africa, further strengthening its diagnostics portfolio.

Through this collaboration, Anatech will offer an expanded range of real-time PCR assays (qPCR) (UltraGene), including syndromic testing panels (https://www.abldiagnostics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/20250220_UltraGene_Assays_Brochure_v4.pdf). This agreement follows the recently announced licensing and transfer agreement of know-how and IP rights related to real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests made by ABL Diagnostics’ mother company, (https://www.einpresswire.com/article/782808669/abl-inks-know-how-license-and-transfer-agreement-for-the-fast-track-diagnostics-pcr-portfolio-from-siemens-healthineers), reinforcing Anatech’ position in molecular diagnostics.

"Having previously operated as a distributor across South Africa for products derived from intellectual property recently acquired by ABL, we are confident that this new collaboration with ABL Diagnostics will allow us to continue providing trusted qPCR solutions with a proven track record in the region." said Liza Rohland, Director of Operations at Anatech.

Dimitri Gonzalez, Head of Diagnostics at ABL Diagnostics, stated: “We are excited to partner with Anatech to reestablish the provision of advanced qPCR solutions for microbiology laboratories across South Africa”.

The syndromic multiplex testing market—which enables simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens—is projected to grow from USD 2.89 billion in 2025 to USD 4.17 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.66% (https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/syndromic-multiplex-diagnostic-market). With South Africa’s strong research sector and growing demand for syndromic testing, this partnership presents significant growth opportunities.
The financial terms of the agreement remain undisclosed.
