Devyser at 20: Celebrating two decades of innovation in genetic diagnostics

Devyser proudly marks its 20th anniversary by celebrating a legacy of innovation, resilience, and growth in genetic diagnostics. Founded in 2004, Devyser began with a mission to revolutionize genetic testing, inspired by the personal experiences of our founders, who saw the need for more reliable and accessible diagnostics. Devyser has grown into a global leader from those early days, driven by our commitment to simplifying complex testing to benefit patients and healthcare providers worldwide. 

Devyser is not only celebrating its 20th anniversary, but we are excited to announce the opening of our new facility in Stockholm, a key milestone in our expansion. This new site features expanded laboratories, a state-of-the-art warehouse, improved production workflows, and a dedicated studio to support continuous education and training. "Our new site reflects Devyser’s commitment to driving growth and innovation in genetic diagnostics," says Fredrik Alpsten, CEO of Devyser. "With this expansion, we can meet the growing global demand for our simple, fast, and accurate testing solutions for oncology, hereditary diseases, and post-transplant monitoring." 

New office facts: 

• 5000 m2 area, more than 3x the size of the old office.  

• Lab space expanded from 300 m² to 900 m². 

• 1,282 tons of CO² were saved during construction, as the office was designed as a “Green Building”, per Svensk Miljöbyggnad’s Silver/Gold definition. 

The additional space will enable us to support larger-scale production, streamline operations, and improve our R&D capabilities. Alongside expanded production and R&D facilities, the new site will serve as a hub for customer and distributor training through the Devyser Academy, including a studio and lecture room for continuously educating our global community of healthcare professionals.
