We are proud to offer our clients a pathology service which uses the most sophisticated diagnostic equipment and techniques in all fields of pathology, including a dedicated pathology transport service, expert medical pathologist support and novel IT connectivity solutions to meet all of your pathology demands.

Eurofins Biomnis & COVID-19. To date, Eurofins Biomnis have performed over 1.3 million SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests for the HSE and other healthcare providers. We were at the forefront of SARS-CoV-2 variant detection by PCR in early 2021 and our variant PCR programme identified the very first cases of the South African variant in the midlands in late February 2021. This initiative led the HSE to instruct all other laboratories performing SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing to send their travel-related primary positives to Eurofins Biomnis for variant PCR testing.
