ADI

Alpha Diagnostic International, Inc. (ADI) is a privately held, U.S. biotechnology company headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. ADI develops, manufactures, and supplies novel diagnostic and quality control reagents and test kits for use in basic biological and disease research in humans and animals. An important mission of ADI is to develop and supply diagnostic and validating solutions for promoting global health through improved vaccine therapeutics and mitigating the spread of human and animal diseases.

History

ADI was founded in 1993 as a provider of custom antibodies and immunoassays for research applications. The primary focus during the early years was the development of immunoassay reagents and kits that were not readily available to researchers. As a result of the human genome project and the human proteome initiative, several new proteins were rapidly identified. However, there were no readily available reagents for carrying out detailed studies on these newly identified proteins. ADI was able to supply researchers worldwide with a number of novel reagents that enabled them to make rapid strides in proteomic research. Over the years, the company expanded its focus and product development efforts to providing solutions for unmet needs in vaccine therapeutics, biologic drugs, infectious disease testing, and other novel products directed to the consumer market which includes meat adulteration testing and rapid tests for fertility monitoring in household pets and farm animals.
