Moving Diagnostic Frontiers in Dermatology
At Dermagnostix, we develop molecular diagnostic tests to support dermatopathologists in achieving precise and objective diagnoses. We create cutting-edge easy to-use molecular diagnostics for dermatology to advance clinical practice and improve therapeutic outcome.
Need for Precision Diagnostics
Transforming Dermatology Diagnostics for a Healthier Future
Skin diseases are highly relevant. One third of the population suffers from at least one skin condition¹ and incidences of psoriasis² and atopic dermatitis³ have doubled during the past decades.
Novel biologics and small-molecule inhibitors have revolutionized treatment options and created a billion dollar market with 5 of the top 10 global blockbuster drugs targeting dermatological conditions.4
However, advances in therapeutics outpace diagnostics in dermatology, leaving a significant gap in precision care. To fully unlock the potential of modern drugs, we need molecular diagnostics alongside conventional methods.
Dermagnostix closes this gap with plug-and-play molecular diagnostic solutions that seamlessly integrate into clinical workflows. By delivering objective, actionable molecular insights, we empower healthcare professionals to make confident decisions. At Dermagnostix, dermatology is more than skin deep - it’s about transforming lives through personalized care and cutting-edge technology!
Our Solutions For Your Challenges
The First Molecular Test for the Differential Diagnosis of Psoriasis and Eczema
Psoriasis or Eczema? Psoriasiform eczema versus eczematized psoriasis? The difference truely matters with specific treatment options now available for both diseases.
PsorX-LabDisk (CE-IVD) is a groundbreaking molecular diagnostic tool that quantitatively differentiates between psoriasis and eczema by analyzing the expression of two marker genes, NOS2 and CCL27, in the skin. Designed to enhance diagnostic precision, it empowers pathologists and dermatopathologists with accurate, patient-specific molecular insights. By bridging the gap between histological and molecular data, PsorX-LabDisk supports confident clinical decision-making and supports personalized care in dermatology.
Precision Meets Automation
The LabDisk-Analyzer is a state-of-the-art diagnostic medical device designed for advanced molecular workflows in pathology and beyond!
This fully automated system streamlines and accelerates molecular workflows – from sample preparation to signal detection – minimizing manual steps and user errors. Its compact, intuitive design supports laboratories in delivering precise results efficiently while complying with IVDR standards, setting a new benchmark for modern molecular diagnostics.
Novel Molecular Diagnostic Tests for Dermatopathology and Dermatology
The modular LabDisk design enables rapid innovation in molecular diagnostics for complex skin diseases. This technology supports the development of groundbreaking tests such as LymphX, a gene-expression-based diagnostic tool that provides precise differentiation between mycosis fungoides (MF), psoriasis, and eczema. PatternX introduces a new dimension in dermatopathology by identifying molecular patterns that redefine traditional disease classifications, allowing for highly tailored and effective patient treatments. PsorX 2.0 will support dermatologists in the differential diagnoses of psoriasis, eczema, and tinea directly at the Point-of-Care using minimal-invasive sampling methods.

Voice of Diagnostic Pioneers
Prof. Dr. Dr. Jörg Kriegsmann
MVZ fĂ¼r Histologie, Zytologie & Molekulare Diagnostik Trier
"Pathology is changing - by using modern methods such as molecular diagnostics in combination with a trained view through the microscope, we achieve greater precision and objectivity and set new quality standards. The innovative Dermagnostix products are therefore a perfect addition to our service portfolio. The excellent customer service should also be highlighted: if you have any questions or challenges, they will always find a quick solution. As a pioneers in pathological molecular diagnostics, we greatly appreciate the cooperation with Dermagnostix."

Franziska Augustiner
"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."
Prof. Kristian Reich, M.D., Ph.D
Specialist in dermatology and venereology
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 KacerovskĂ¡, M.D., PhD
BioptickĂ¡ laboratoÅ™ 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.“
University Hospital Augsburg -Dermatohistopathology Laboratory
Franziska Augustiner
"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."
Dr. med. Steffen Jahn
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."
