Specialist Diagnostics Products

From bowel cancer, IBS and IBD, to sickle cell anaemia; and from kidney disease to rheumatoid arthritis, Alpha Laboratories helps contribute to the health of the nation by providing quality, specialist diagnostic kits and controls to hospitals and healthcare professionals in the UK.

Correct diagnosis is the first critical step that enables clinicians to take appropriate action in the treatment of their patients’ medical condition or disease.

The type of diagnostic pathway taken can even play a role in contributing to the patient outcome, by speeding up the time to treatment or providing a less stressful method for analysis of the problem.

Alpha Laboratories – Helping the fight against Bowel Cancer

Bowel cancer ranks as the UK’s second most common cause of cancer-related deaths, claiming over 16,000 lives annually. The implementation of routine screenings has proven to notably diminish mortality rates, prompting the establishment of comprehensive national screening schemes across Scotland, Wales, England, and Northern Ireland.

Alpha Laboratories has been a steadfast provider of bowel cancer testing kits since the inception of these initiatives. Our ongoing collaboration with programme administrators ensures seamless and efficient operations. We have played an integral role in transitioning to advanced screening and symptomatic assessment technology, particularly the more precise, sensitive, and automated Faecal Immunochemical Testing (FIT).
