The Amplibio Seegene Diagnostics (The joint corporation of Seegene and Amplibio Mexico) participated in XLVII congreso nacional mexicano de patologia clinica (Mexican National Congress of Clinical Pathology) held in Puebla, Mexico, from Nov. 1st to Nov. 4th, 2017.

Other infectious disease test products such as test for sexually transmitted infections (STI), and respiratory bacteria/virus infections including pneumonia, cold, tuberculosis drug resistance have been to the fore that are expanding rapidly in the medical device market of Mexico.

The director also said, "Since we introduced the various product lineups and highly reliable results to the customers of the major and specialized hospitals of Mexico where a high barrier to entry has existed for sales, it is expected that entering the Mexican medical market will be more resilient.
