Designation as a closed facility
IDENTXX GmbH was successfully recognized as a closed facility or quarantine station according to Art. 60 for work according to Art. 8, Art. 48, Art. 49 and Art. 58 of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031.
Portfolio expansion | Marker-assisted selection
In addition to traditional phenotypic selection, modern plant breeding is increasingly relying on molecular methods. IDENTXX supports vine breeders with the analysis of genetic markers for the development of fungus-resistant vines
Portfolio expansion | RNA analysis
In modern plant research, questions relating to gene expression and transcript analysis are becoming increasingly important. IDENTXX GmbH has therefore consistently expanded its range of methods in this direction.
IDENTXX GmbH – The spirit of research becomes entrepreneurial reality
After a three-year intensive concept phase, the idea became an operational company.
In addition to the move to Maybachstrasse 50 in Stuttgart, the range of services was expanded to include resistance analysis of arable herbs. In order to make the realignment visible, PathoScan GbR became IDENTXX GmbH.
Since then, Dr. Frank Brändle was the main force in the role of managing partner.
PathoScan GbR - Proof of concept of the idea
The Leimotive of offering tailor-made molecular services for plant production began with the development of an initial pilot project for the PCR-based detection of downy mildew fungi. The concept impressed the jury of the “Young Innovators” state funding program run by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts. Thanks to the funding commitment, PathoScan GbR, based at the University of Hohenheim, was founded.
