Product category: DNA testing
Actual Biological Age estimation
Feeling old too soon? Test if your Lifestyle affects your metabolism.

Epigenetics is a mechanism that allows to adapt gene expression to environmental factors. Your birthday gives a chronological age, some epigenetic biomarkers may give another biological one. This test will help change or reinforce good habits for a younger biological age.

Product category: DNA testing
EMOgen
Preventive genetic test against emotional instability
EMOgen analyzes polymorphisms in relation with the metabolism of neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin), the homocysteine metabolism, serotonin synthesis and transport. This test allows to counteract the development of depression and anxiety disorders.

This test is carried out on a sub-contracted basis by an accredited laboratory.

Product category: DNA testing
Colon Cancer prevention
Colorectal cancer is the second most frequent cause of death due to cancer. More than 230,000 people still die of this disease throughout Europe. Colon cancer can almost always be cured if it is detected early. Regular colon cancer screening is therefore essential and should be an integral part of health care from the age of 50.

With regard to the early detection of colorectal cancer, colonoscopy remains the gold standard. However, the acceptance of a colonoscopy is still unsatisfactory, so that the study of occult blood in stool has been a complementary test for many years.

At Laboratoires Réunis we offer you the following methods of detection:

iFOBT (immunological detection of fecal occult blood). Studies have shown that immunological tests (iFOBT) can detect invisible blood in the stool with a higher sensitivity than with the conventional guaiac test.

Septin9 test (blood test). Similarly, the Septin9 blood test offers an alternative for simple non-invasive screening. The test detects methylated DNA that enters the bloodstream from tumor cells. Only a blood sample is required for this. A previous diet is not necessary.

COLOgen. The COLOgen is a preventive genetic test for the prophylaxis of sporadic colorectal cancer. The genetic polymorphisms analyzed in the COLOgen profile include cell growth, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis.

COLOgen is not recommended if a familial colorectal cancer history such as Lynch Syndrome and Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) exists.

About Us

Company details
Laboratoires Réunis is an independent clinical laboratory with more than 50 years of experience. We are committed to providing high quality testing services and accurate, timely tests results to all our patients. Our expertise extends from classical clinical chemistry diagnostics and microbiology to the diagnosis of infectious diseases and up to genetic testing.

Laboratoires Réunis keeps investing in science and technology in order to bring better outcomes for doctors and patients alike. Our R&D is driven by expert clinicians and scientists who are all committed to keeping our lab at the forefront of research and innovation. With more than 200 employees, our lab is a privileged partner for all healthcare biotech activities and business.

We also place a strong focus on activities related to molecular diagnostics considered as the main pillar of personalised medicine.

Personalised medicine offers an innovative approach to healthcare which aims to provide each individual with the right care, in the right place, at the right time and at the right cost. This may allow physicians to tailor therapy with the best outcomes in the management of patient’s disease. Personalised medicine includes preventive genetic testing in combination with personal history and lifestyle as well as environmental factors. By combining and analysing information about our genome with other clinical and diagnostic information, preventive recommendations are given to avoid the disease and lower the individual risk.

Constant advances in medical biology and new molecular methods have enabled our department of microbiology to develop a large panel of new techniques for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. Laboratoires Réunis is the preferred international partner for specialised testing in genetics, genomics and molecular diagnostics of these infectious diseases.

Since 2006 Laboratoires Réunis has been accredited under Standard ISO 15189 and it has confirmed its position as the national leader in the field of predictive genetics and molecular diagnosis of infectious diseases in Luxembourg. In the last ten years, our staff developed a unique panel of phenotypic and genotypic markers, which constitutes a major tool for the integrative approach of multifactorial and environment linked diseases.

Laboratoires Réunis supports regular Continuing Medical Education (CME) for physicians and other healthcare professionals. With a network of over 60 blood withdrawal centres across Luxembourg, patients and physicians are granted proximity and easy access to our extensive range of premium services.

Since 2018, Laboratoires Réunis has been also taking care of the health of your animals. Our Department of Veterinary Medicine is known for having experienced pathologists focused on providing comprehensive veterinary diagnostic services.
