During the coronavirus pandemic, millions of people have become accustomed to PCR. But rapid and accurate diagnostics are essential not only in medicine. Testing animals, plants, and products plays an equally important role for agriculture, veterinary medicine, and food industry. It was then, in 2021, that an idea emerged in the federal territory of Sirius in the Krasnodar Territory that is now developing into an export project. BIODIVE LLC developed the portable PCR analyzer, PCRBOT, which is an autonomous microlaboratory that anyone can operate, even without training.
PCRBOT provides analysis results in just 30–40 minutes. Operation requires gloves, samples, and instructions. As a result, the user receives accurate information about the condition of an animal, plant, or food product. The device is entirely manufactured in Russia and has no domestic equivalent, while foreign solutions remain expensive and often unavailable. The team also provides fast and reliable technical support.
Company's development is protected by patents No. RU221186U1 and No. RU2799795C1, and in 2024, it received certificates of conformity under the Made in Russia national program from Russian Export Center (REC, VEB Group) in the uniqueness category. For the team, this was a sign of trust, as participation in the national system for promoting Russian goods opens up additional opportunities in international markets.
"The Made in Russia certificate is a source of pride, at the very least, given that so many solutions are produced and developed in the country. In our particular case, this certificate also provides additional credibility to the manufacturer," BIODIVE management.
Today, the company is taking its first steps into export markets. Cooperation has already been established with Belarus, Abkhazia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, and a contract with Tajikistan is being prepared. Plans include expanding sales to Africa and the Middle East, including the UAE, where simple and reliable solutions for the agricultural sector are in demand. Despite the challenges of expanding into the Russian market and competition from large corporations, the team is confidently looking forward.
By contacting Russian Export Center, the company received support for promotion and development. It used the services on My Export platform. The platform offers training and analytical services, as well as consultations on various aspects of export activities. The platform helps list products on relevant foreign online platforms, obtain permits (export licenses, veterinary and phytosanitary certificates), apply for government support, and review and submit applications for banking and insurance products.
For BIODIVE, exporting is more than just a sales opportunity. It's an opportunity to gain a foothold in international markets and strengthen domestic production. PCRBOT has become an example of how an idea born during a time of crisis can be transformed into an innovative product capable of competing globally and strengthening Russia's reputation as a country where unique technological solutions are created.
Made in Russia certificate is an official document confirming the high quality of products manufactured in the Russian Federation. To obtain the certificate, companies do not need to undergo additional checks by Russian Export Center. They need to apply for a certificate on the REC website, upload the required documents electronically, and sign the automatically generated form. More detailed information about the program and the requirements for obtaining the certificate can be found on the REC official website.
