Vircell

🍄 Vircell is heading to Balkan Fungus 2026!

From October 1–3, we’ll be in Romania together with Biomedica, joining specialists in medical mycology and fungal diagnostics.

Our main focus? Aspergillus diagnostics and how automated galactomannan testing can be integrated more flexibly into routine laboratory workflows. 🔬

We’ll also be sharing our experience during:

The Next Generation of Aspergillosis Diagnosis with Aspergillus Galactomannan Ag VIRCLIA® Monotest
🎤 Zaira Garcia, Marketing Director, Vircell
📅 October 1 · 🕕 18:00

At the congress, discover ASPERGILLUS GALACTOMANNAN Ag VIRCLIA® MONOTEST, our automated CLIA solution for Aspergillus galactomannan detection.

If you’re attending, come and meet Vircell and Biomedica and talk mycology with us. 🍄🧪

📍 Romania
📅 October 1–3, 2026

Seven relevant targets. One external control. Full molecular workflow. 🧬

Designed to mimic a human ge***al ulcer swab sample, this new AMPLIRUN® TOTAL control helps laboratories monitor extraction, amplification and detection within the same workflow.

✅ 7 targets: CT-LGV, HSV-1, HSV-2, Treponema pallidum, Haemophilus ducreyi, MPXV and VZV
✅ Inactivated, non-infectious material
✅ Single-dose, lyophilized format
✅ No cold chain required during transport
✅ Quantified by real-time PCR

👉 Discover the new control on the AMPLIRUN® website.

Vircell is heading to ISHAM Asia 2026! 🍄🔬

Medical mycology is an important part of infectious disease diagnostics, and we’re looking forward to joining the conversations around its latest challenges and developments at ISHAM Asia 2026.

For us at Vircell, events like ISHAM are also a chance to stay close to the laboratories we work with, understand the challenges they face and share how our fungal diagnostic solutions can support their daily work.

You’ll find us at booth #8, where our team will be presenting our fungal diagnostics portfolio, recent product updates and our latest developments.

If you’re attending, come by and talk mycology with us. We’d be glad to see you there!

📍 Hilton Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
📅 September 10–12, 2026
📌 Booth #8

August may be quieter, but there’s still plenty happening at Vircell. ☀️

Across our labs, production areas and offices, our teams are keeping things moving , developing, manufacturing and supporting solutions for infectious disease diagnostics.

Different teams, different roles, one shared goal: making sure laboratories around the world have the solutions and support they need.

Here’s a little look behind the scenes at Vircell this August. 🔬🧪

Mpox diagnosis goes beyond confirming infection. 🧬

The latest SEIMC recommendations highlight the importance of molecular testing for mpox confirmation, clade assignment and epidemiological surveillance. Approximately 27% of newly detected mpox infections in Spain currently lack clade assignment.

Vircell offers molecular solutions covering different diagnostic needs:

🧬 MPOX CLADES REALTIME PCR KIT: MPXV detection and Clade I/II classification.

🔬 MONKEYPOX REALTIME PCR KIT: qualitative MPXV detection.

Accurate molecular diagnosis provides valuable information for both clinical management and public health surveillance.

Today, parts of Spain will witness a total solar eclipse, the first of its kind visible from the Iberian Peninsula in more than a century. 🌑☀️

But what could a solar eclipse and diagnostics possibly have in common? More than you might think.

Both remind us that there is more than meets the eye.

In healthcare and research, finding the right answer often means looking beyond what is immediately visible, following the right diagnostic pathway and uncovering what may initially remain hidden.

Take mycobacterial diagnostics, for example: acid-fast bacilli may be visible under the microscope, but seeing them is only the beginning. Further testing is needed to understand exactly what we are looking at.

At Vircell, we have spent years approaching diagnostic challenges from different perspectives, developing solutions that help laboratories look deeper, connect the pieces and reach better answers.

Just as an eclipse changes the way we see the Sun, diagnostics remind us that a different perspective can reveal what was hidden all along.

Sometimes, seeing differently is what makes the invisible visible.

This World Hepatitis Day, diagnosis deserves the spotlight. 🌍

Hepatitis D is one of the most severe forms of chronic viral hepatitis, yet it remains underdiagnosed.

For HBsAg-positive patients, HDV screening is key to identifying possible cases. But screening is only the first step: confirmation of active infection requires HDV RNA testing.

A recent publication by Buti M. et al. in Gastroenterología y Hepatología shares expert recommendations to improve hepatitis D diagnosis in Spain, highlighting the value of reflex testing, double reflex testing and more efficient care pathways.

At Vircell, we remain committed to supporting scientific knowledge and developing diagnostic solutions that help improve the detection of viral hepatitis.

Earlier detection. Molecular confirmation. Better follow-up.

Non-invasive H. pylori diagnosis is no longer a “second option”. 🧪

Today, the real question is not only which test to use, but also how that test fits into the laboratory workflow.

In this carousel, we look at where stool antigen detection fits in H. pylori diagnosis, and how automation can support more objective, flexible and workflow-friendly testing.

As Europe enters a new and unpredictable West Nile virus season, laboratories need to be ready. 🦟

During the mosquito transmission period, WNV activity can change quickly. Suspected cases may require timely diagnostic support, especially when fever, meningitis, encephalitis or neuroinvasive disease are involved.

For laboratories, preparedness means having flexible tools available before demand rises.

Vircell supports West Nile virus diagnostic workflows with a complete approach:

🧪 Serology
VirClia® West Nile Virus IgM / IgG Monotest

🧬 Molecular testing
Viral Meningitis Real Time PCR Kit, including West Nile virus detection in CSF samples

✅ RNA controls
AmpliRun® West Nile Virus RNA Control for molecular workflow control

West Nile virus season has started.
Is your laboratory really prepared?
