In-vitro diagnostics covers analysers, reagents, rapid tests and laboratory consumables across chemistry, haematology, microbiology, immunology and genetics. IVD has its own regulation in most markets, and the EU regulates it under IVDR rather than MDR. Laboratory distributors usually differ from device distributors, even inside the same company.
