What We Do

Dako is a global leader in tissue-based cancer diagnostics. Dako provides reagents, instruments and software for high quality cancer diagnosis and efficient laboratory processes.

Fast, accurate test results are crucial when a patient is possibly faced with a disease. Cancer diagnostics is a complex process with many steps in the pathology laboratory susceptible to error - from inaccurate identification to an extra drop of reagents or over-fixation. The correct diagnosis hangs in the balance at each stage.

Dako’s goals are to improve tissue-based cancer diagnostics focusing on the workflow in the pathology laboratory. Our aim is to develop and market know-how, instruments, reagents and software that will reduce time from biopsy to diagnosis, improve quality and reliability of the diagnosis and efficiency in the lab.  

Pathology laboratories of today are undergoing significant changes. They are developing fast to meet an increasing burden on the labs due to aging populations and healthcare costs under scrutiny. Dako’s will continuously develop and market products which help the pathology laboratories in overcoming these challenges. By offering connected laboratory solutions Dako also aims to add the value of ensuring consistent high quality staining every time the laboratory prepares a slide, avoiding variances generated in the many processes in the lab.
