The manufacturing facility for CoSara Diagnostics Pvt Ltd (CoSara) is one of the first facilities for manufacturing molecular diagnostics in India and is intended to meet both current and future requirements for medical device manufacturing, which are expected to be implemented by the Indian government over the next few years. The facility was also designed to be in compliance with ISO 13485:2016, cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) regulations, and audits for WHO qualifications and CE-markings of diagnostics products.

Mr. Dwight Egan, CEO of Co-Diagnostics Inc, and Mr, Mohal Sarabhai, CEO of Synbiotics Pvt Ltd, inaugurated the facility on April 8, 2019. The inauguration was attended by officers and department heads of CoSara, Co-Diagnostics, and Synbiotics, as well as suppliers, distributors, and other invited guests.
