Moving diagnostic frontiers in dermatology
The demand for precision diagnostics
Skin diseases impair patients’ quality of life more drastically than cancer and diabetes²’
Your point-of-need molecular solution
Groundbreaking translational research meets cutting-edge technology – Dermagnostix provides unique diagnostic tests for unmet clinical needs in dermatology on a fully automated portable laboratory. With PsorX (CE-IVD), Dermagnostix offers the first in-class molecular test for differential diagnosis of psoriasis and eczema.

"Using the Dermagnostix system, including the LabDisk-Analyzer and PsorX-LabDisk, has significantly improved our ability to differentiate between psoriasis and eczema diagnoses with more precision. It serves as an excellent diagnostic support tool alongside histology. Implementing the system into our daily lab routine was smooth, and all our staff found it easy to understand."

Professor for translational research of inflammatory skin diseases
“The molecular diagnostic possibilities Dermagnostix offers will be the future in pattern diagnostics of dermatological diseases and ultimately treatment selection. Great to see how the platform automizes complex procedures in a closed and fast system.“
Prof. Denisa Kacerovská, M.D., PhD
Bioptická laboratoř s.r.o. Pilsen, Czech Republic
“Most of my routine cases are inflammatory diseases, especially eczema and psoriasis. Most of them are straightforward in diagnoses. However, some cause diagnostic dilemmas. In these cases, the PsorX-LabDisk is extremely useful in supporting my histological diagnosis quickly and easily. Furthermore, its user-friendly handling saves me time compared to other molecular biological tests.“

"We are extremely satisfied with the customer service. Every time we had a question or faced a challenge, support was available by phone or email. The friendly and efficient communication with the Team and the quick problem-solving really stood out to us. We had no concerns about using molecular diagnostics in dermatopathology, as we are an innovative and forward-thinking lab."

Pathologie an der Dresdner Heide
"The diagnosis of inflammatory skin diseases, especially the differentiation of psoriasis from eczema, is oftentimes difficult, both clinically and histologically. Unfortunately, this often prevents a targeted and effective therapy, even though the disease has often been present for years. With the PsorX-LabDisk we are pleased to be able to offer our patients for the first time a highly specific, molecular pathological and yet uncomplicated solution to this problem."
