INTRODUCTION
LSI began in 1991.
We are now a company of 15 people, 10 of whom are full-time technical scientists (R&D/QC/Production).
Over the past ten years we have evolved to become one of the leading R&D based veterinary diagnostic companies, beginning with highly specific ELISAs and progressing through conventional PCRs to Real-Time PCRs.
As a part of the development of both our serological and molecular tests we collect and screen many thousands of samples from around the world and sequence genes from many of these using an ABIPRISM 310.
NEWS
From February 1st 2006 we are distributing and supporting on behalf of HIPRA their CIVTEST range of kits alongside our own throughout most of the world (Americas and Oceania excepting). This will significantly increase the range of products we have on offer.
LSI PRODUCTS
LSI evolved from its starting position as a company which developed a few very specialist ELISA kits for the French market, to the present company which is highly specialised in the development and manufacture of Real Time PCR kits for all species, and markets kits throughout the world.
On our product pages you will see that we have a very wide range of ELISAs as well as both Real Time and conventional PCR kits. Where there is synergism with our own range we also distribute high quality serological kits for a few companies which we have first validated and registered in France.
