Infectious Disease Testing in Saudi Arabia

Advanced Laboratory Automation for Safer, Faster Diagnosis

Infectious disease testing in Saudi Arabia has never been more critical. From seasonal flu to emerging viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and tick-borne diseases, Saudi laboratories must process thousands of samples daily with speed, accuracy, and consistency.

Samir Group delivers cutting-edge diagnostic automation systems that support public health laboratories, government hospitals, and private centers across the Kingdom. With global partners like EUROIMMUN, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, and IDS, we offer proven platforms for ELISA, IFA, molecular, and serological testing — essential for disease prevention and containment.


A Comprehensive Suite for Infection Diagnostics

1. ELISA Testing with Full Automation

EUROIMMUN Analyzer I streamlines your infection diagnostics workflow:

  • Automates all steps from reagent loading to QC data import
  • Supports up to 180 patient samples and 7 microplates
  • Validated assays for hepatitis, herpes, HIV, and respiratory pathogens

This solution is used in reference laboratories in Riyadh, Medina, and Eastern Province for both screening and confirmation testing.

2. Immunoblot & Multiplex Infection Testing

EUROBlotOne allows simultaneous testing of multiple infections per sample:

  • Processes immunoblot strips automatically
  • Combines autoimmune and infection diagnostics in one platform
  • Compact, efficient, and LIS-compatible

Used in university hospitals and virology centers, this platform enhances productivity without compromising accuracy.


3. IFA (Indirect Immunofluorescence) for Complex Infection Profiles

UNIQO 160 provides a fully automated IFA solution:

  • Handles slide prep, staining, image capture, and result proposal
  • Reduces manual handling in CSF and parasitic infection screening
  • Perfect for testing tick-borne infections, neurotropic viruses, and autoimmune overlap cases

With its integration into EUROLabOffice, IFA workflows become seamless and standardized — ideal for high-throughput labs in Jeddah and Taif.


4. Molecular Diagnostics for High-Sensitivity Testing

EUROIMMUN also delivers robust PCR-based and genetic testing panels:

  • SARS-CoV-2, HPV, Tuberculosis, and STIs
  • Panels for emerging and vaccine-preventable diseases
  • Compatible with both routine diagnostics and outbreak response

Molecular testing platforms are key assets in National Guard facilities, MOH outbreak labs, and customs health points.


5. COVID-19 Antibody Testing

As part of our pandemic support, Samir Group deployed:

  • VITROS® Anti-SARS-COV-2 Total & IgG Tests
    • Measures total antibodies or IgG-specific
    • Useful for diagnosis and population-level seroprevalence studies

Used by MOH and King Saud Medical City, these tests have been critical in monitoring immunity and outbreak response across Saudi Arabia.


6. Integrated Systems and Workflow Benefits

Whether using ELISA or molecular testing, our platforms offer:

  • Barcode-based sample tracking
  • Automated incubation and wash steps
  • Flexible result interpretation and reporting

They connect easily with hospital LIS/EMR systems and meet SFDA and ISO standards.
