Research Emphasis

Dr. John Q. Xia is the president of AC Diagnostics, Incorporated, a newly established company for research, development and marketing of Agri-diagnostic products. AC Diagnostics, Inc. (www.acdiainc.com) currently provides ELISA reagents/kits for the detection of more than 170 plant viruses, bacteria and fungi to customers worldwide. Many of our products are developed by cooperating with scientists at universities and/or USDA labs in the USA and other countries. Company laboratories also offer full-scale, convenient in-house testing services for customer samples.

In cooperation with USDA/University Laboratories, we are in the process of developing new products based on the molecular technologies such as PCR/RT-PCR, Real-Time PCR, Immunocapture PCR and Micro/Macroassay.
