Every new friendship starts with a greeting, which is why we named our lab HOLA. Hello in Spanish. We believe that even a small biotech company can bring value to laboratories around the world and be successful when compared to established companies. That is why we are trying to transfer simple and convenient online shopping to the world of medical devices, so that we can deliver our products even to the remotest corners of the planet. Easy and environmentally friendly.

Our vision

We believe that in the 21st century, quality molecular diagnostics should be available anywhere in the world, for everyone and as a standard.

Our mission

In the conservative environment of biotechnology companies, we are moving towards simplicity and user-friendliness. We apply our know-how and European quality standards both in innovative products and in modern ordering and shipping methods.

History of Hola Biolabs

The company Hola Biolabs was founded in 2020 in response to the global corona crisis, which exposed the problem of insufficient tools for COVID-19 rapid testing. In the first year, we managed to develop and certify our own PCR kit for the detection of COVID-19. We also obtained the necessary ISO certificates and became an officially registered non-state medical facility. Within approximately 18 months of operation, we performed over 200,000 tests at our diagnostic facility and became the preferred laboratory for patients and doctors in South Moravia.

After the successful introduction of testing for COVID-19, we submitted an application for support in the Czech Rise Up 2.0 program to implement the development of respiratory kits. The development, production and certification of these innovative lyophilized PCR kits was completed by the middle of 2022 and you can already find them in the offer of our products for laboratories. We still want to profile ourselves as a diagnostic laboratory, but also as a manufacturer of our own diagnostic products.
