Our Founding Story

Born From Personal Loss

After losing his father to bowel cancer — diagnosed at stage four — and watching his brother's health severely impacted by a misdiagnosis at just 35, Dr Chun Tang was determined to change the way cancer is detected in the UK.

Working with his wife Dr Clara Weisshaar and biochemist Prof. Dr. Maria-Paz Weisshaar — who has had a research connection with the developers of the ColoAlert technology since 2008 — Dr Tang founded Biox Medical in 2019 to introduce this non-invasive, next-generation screening kit to the UK.

"I sadly know only too well from my family's experience how terrible the consequences of late diagnosis can be in colorectal cancers. Early diagnosis is key to better survival rates — ColoAlert removes this barrier by allowing at-home testing that can either put minds at rest or rapidly increase the course of treatment in order to save lives."
— Dr Chun Tang, Medical Director, Biox Medical

If you have symptoms — such as bleeding, a persistent change in bowel habit, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain or unexplained tiredness — contact your GP without delay.

"I found out about this test from a Daily Telegraph article and immediately ordered the test kit. It arrived quickly with very clear instructions. Having completed the test the sample was collected for return. I've just received my results (negative thank goodness) and have set a reminder to carry out another test in 3 years time. Highly recommended for peace of mind."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ medical lab

Biox Medical was founded in 2019 by Dr Chun Tang (GP and Medical Director), Dr Clara Weisshaar (Innovation Director), and Prof. Dr. Maria-Paz Weisshaar (Director of R&D). The company was born from Dr Tang's personal experience — after losing his father to bowel cancer and watching his brother's health severely impacted by misdiagnosis. Their goal was to introduce the ColoAlert non-invasive screening test to the UK and make cancer prevention technologies widely accessible.

ColoAlert (biovis Test Set 920) is a stool-based bowel cancer screening test manufactured by biovis Diagnostik MVZ GmbH in Germany. It combines faecal immunochemical testing for haemoglobin and haptoglobin with qPCR analysis of the genetic markers KRAS, BRAF and hDNA in a single stool sample. It is intended for adults aged 45+ who do not have bowel symptoms. If you have bleeding, a persistent change in bowel habit, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain or unexplained tiredness, see your GP rather than using a home screening test. ColoAlert is a screening test and not a diagnosis: an abnormal result requires colonoscopy, and a normal result does not exclude bowel cancer.

Test Set 920 (ColoAlert) is manufactured by biovis Diagnostik MVZ GmbH as an in-house medical device under Regulations (EU) 2017/745 and 2017/746; the ColoAlert stool collection tube is CE-IVD marked. Samples are analysed exclusively at biovis in Limburg-Eschhofen, Germany, a medical laboratory accredited to DIN EN ISO 15189. Our other products are supplied by their respective manufacturers under their own conformity arrangements.

Some policies may reimburse screening tests, but many insurers exclude routine screening in people without symptoms. Please check directly with your own insurer before ordering. Results are delivered via password-encrypted communications and come with full clinical documentation suitable for GP referrals and insurance claims.

We welcome partnerships with healthcare providers, pharmacies, laboratories, medical supply companies, and online retailers. Simply use the contact form on this page and our team will be in touch within 48 hours to discuss your requirements.

MeCheck (mecheck.co.uk) is Biox Medical's consumer-facing retail brand. While Biox Medical focuses on B2B distribution to healthcare networks, pharmacies and labs, MeCheck makes the same professional-grade products available directly to individuals across the UK — via the MeCheck website and Amazon UK — with free shipping and results in days.

Any abnormal result is reviewed and discussed free of charge by a GP. Tests bought through mecheck.co.uk are reported by Northwest Health Ltd, a CQC-registered clinic; tests supplied through a partner clinic are reported by that clinic. An abnormal result is not a diagnosis — it means further investigation is needed, usually colonoscopy, and we will advise on how to arrange this. A normal result does not exclude bowel cancer: if you develop symptoms, see your GP.
