Veredus Laboratories is a medical device company in Singapore specializing in developing portable diagnostic tool kits.

Veredus Laboratories was founded in 2003 by Dr. Rosemary Tan. The company released its first product in 2006.[1]

In July 2005, Veredus Laboratories launched a DNA- and RNA-based diagnostic kits for dengue, avian influenza and malaria. The kit is based on technologies licensed from A*STAR and the National University of Singapore.[2]

In January 2006, Veredus Laboratories and STMicroelectronics announced a joint effort in the development of a rapid diagnostic kit for avian influenza and other influenza viruses which could produces a result within an hour, based on Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology.[3] In July 2006, Veredus Laboratories set up an on-board avian influenza testing laboratory on USS Blue Ridge, the flagship of the United States 7th Fleet, and on the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk.[4]

Veredus Laboratories released VereTrop in April 2013, a biochip that can diagnose 13 different varieties of tropical diseases from a single blood sample.[5]

A year later in May 2014, the company released VereMERS, a lab-on-a-chip application capable of detecting the coronavirus that causes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome.[6]

In April 2018, Veredus Laboratories was acquired by Sekisui Chemical Co.[7]
