About Us
BETTER TOOLS. BETTER RESULTS.
InstantLabs is the inventor of the Hunter® Real-Time PCR system, a breakthrough solution that equips scientists and non-scientists alike to easily and confidently run molecular tests anywhere and anytime.
We have also built a portfolio of AOAC-approved test kits for the food industry to detect foodborne pathogens more easily and rapidly than previously possible, an industry-leading collection of molecular tests for detecting food fraud at the molecular level in the supply chain, and the world’s first and only solution for rapid on-site detection of corrosive microorganisms in the oilfield and beyond.
Our passion is taking complex testing challenges and building innovative solutions that are easy-to-use, affordable, and simply work.
Molecular testingisn't just for health diagnostics
OUR CAPABILITIES
Molecular testing is our business. From developing novel new tests to validating and manufacturing complete testing solutions for use in the laboratory or in the field, we love the challenge.
R & D
We specialize in creating complete validated testing workflows including sample collection, sample processing, DNA analysis, and software tools to make sense of the data.
Manufacturing
Controlling manufacturing allows us to ensure quality. We manufacture key testing components including reagents and test kits, plastic-ware, devices, and complete mobile laboratories.
Lab Services
Not every test can be done easily on-site due to variety of reasons. So we offer advanced testing services in our state-of-the-art laboratory managed by Ph.D. level scientists.
Custom Solutions
The best solutions come through partnerships. Do you have a problem specific to your industry? Let's talk. Together we can build amazing tools that solve important problems.
