Fast. Affordable. Fully automated.

Use LabDisk technology to automate your laboratory workflow

Message to our business partners

It is with deep regret that we announce the closure of DIALUNOX GmbH after more than 25 years of dedicated service.

In the aftermath of the pandemic, the market for contract manufacturing of complex optical measurement devices and compact rapid test readers has evolved in a way that, unfortunately, no longer supports the long-term viability of our business. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue and wind down the operations of DIALUNOX GmbH in 2025.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our valued customers, suppliers, and business partners for your trust and collaboration over the years.

We remain at your disposal for any further discussions. Please feel free to contact us at: info@dialunox.com

The management

We shrink your laboratory down to a desktop microfluidic platform

The scientists and engineers from DIALUNOX and Hahn-Schickard research institute  stuck their heads together in order to create a one-stop shop, offering the whole R&D workflow for development, test and pilot production for molecular diagnostics at the point-of-need.

What you get at the end is an intelligent, easy-to-use product capable of doing decentralized molecular analytics at the point where it is needed. From sample to answer. Just push a button and get your result.

Liquid handling and assay miniaturization: What is the challenge?

Our technology is aimed to solve the above-mentioned challenges by developing the LabDisk platform based on centrifugal microfluidics. This smart solution in the on-site molecular analysis will allow you to exactly match your needs.

  • Miniaturization: Enable analysis of small sample volumes.
  • Integration: Reduce your whole workflow on a small cartridge.
  • Multiplexing: Get approximately 30 analytes done simultaneously.
  • Automation:  Achieve by spinning and temperature control.

This is how your microfluidic platform works

  • Affordable and small-scale instruments
  • Ideal for decentralized testing
  • Easy-to-use and robust
  • Easy-to-manufacture cartridges
  • Low-cost and customizable due to only one micro-structured layer
  • All reagents are pre-stored
