Ever wondered how doctors know exactly what’s happening inside your body without performing surgery? It often comes down to a fascinating field called In-Vitro Diagnostics, or IVD.
Here is a quick breakdown of what it is and why it’s changing the way we look at health.
What exactly is IVD?
In Latin, In-Vitro means "in glass." IVD refers to tests done on samples taken from the human body—like blood, urine, or tissue—performed in a controlled environment like a lab or even at your kitchen table. Unlike "In-Vivo" tests (which happen inside the body, like an X-ray), IVD tests happen in test tubes or on slides.
If you’ve ever used a blood glucose monitor, a pregnancy test, or had a throat swab for strep, you’ve used In-Vitro Diagnostics!
