The company develops reagents for clinical laboratories and scientific institutions. No similar products are available in Ukraine.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Unique biotech products<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ukrainian laboratories are constrained to either buy European reagents at a high price, or cheap Russian ones that are often of low quality and thus the possibility of an error during the test is high. \u201cWe base our activities on two principles \u2013 quality and affordability. We are aiming at supplying the clinical labs with quality world-class reagents,\u201d explained Dmytro Syniuka, director of the Ukrainian Genetic Technologies company, combat veteran, at a press-briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The company\u2019s main work directions are diagnosing viral disease agents, nutraceuticals, and testing genetic predisposition. The company\u2019s scientists not only borrow up-to-date technologies but also conduct their own research. They plan to develop a haplogroup test \u2013 a DNA test that allows analyzing the person\u2019s ancestry and learn the regions of origin of the ancestors. \u201cWe are working in the framework of the existing methods. I would say metaphorically: we have not made up a new literary genre, but we do write new books. Firstly, it\u2019s honest, secondly, it is what is interesting to us,\u201d emphasized Bizhan Sharopov, the company\u2019s chief biologist, combat veteran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The companies Ukrainian Genetic Technologies and MyHelix signed a Memorandum on cooperation in the field of nutraceuticals. They will be developing genetic tests \u201cMy ration\u201d and \u201cMy vegetarianism\u201d. \u201cBoth tests are entirely created in Ukraine. We are proud of it and it is just the beginning,\u201d emphasized Daria Loseva, director of MyHelix.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Without actually emphasizing that the business is of the veterans<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dmytro Lavrenchuk, the public relations manager at Ukrainian Genetic Technologies, said that they do not immediately inform their clients that the company was founded by war veterans. \u201cWe are of the opinion that there needs to be a certain quality level of the products. And only after our clients get quality products and conclude that they are of higher quality than the ones they used before, only then they will look at us more attentively and will learn that the business is that of the veterans. Veterans can be not only a \u2018begging\u2019 element in our society, but they can also contribute to the society,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt is a small model of the post-Maidan Ukraine. Each of us has to be extremely interested\u00a0in their\u00a0success.
