Company Background and Establishment
Baharzist Azma Pazhooh (Knowledge-Based Company) was established in 2001 (1380) by a group of microbiology specialists and industry experts under the leadership of Ali Shakouri. Since its inception, the company has played a pivotal role in the importation and distribution of laboratory, medical, and dental supplies. This foundational period allowed Baharzist to cultivate deep market insights and establish an extensive network of industry connections. In response to evolving healthcare demands, the company successfully introduced a diverse portfolio of specialized products, including:
- Diagnostic Tools: Rapid addiction tests (Vitro, Intec, Abon), hypothyroidism diagnostic kits, and ELISA kits.
- Public Health Solutions: Newborn screening programs and microbial water testing kits.
- Healthcare Supplies: Dental equipment and a wide range of hospital consumables.
The revenue generated from these successful commercial activities was strategically reinvested to strengthen the company’s production capabilities. This transition has empowered Baharzist to evolve from a leading distributor into a specialized manufacturer, dedicated to advancing the quality of healthcare and laboratory services.
From Distribution to Innovation
“In 2011, driven by extensive market research and the identification of critical gaps-specifically the heavy reliance on imported medical plastics-Baharzist strategically expanded into the manufacturing sector. By investing in state-of-the-art machinery and specialized infrastructure, the company began high-precision production in collaboration with elite mold-making experts. Baharzist successfully achieved national self-sufficiency in the design and engineering of complex single and multi-cavity medical molds, many of which were previously sourced exclusively from international markets. Our specialized manufacturing portfolio now includes:
- Medical Safety Boxes: High-quality containers for infectious waste management.
- Diagnostic Components: Precision-engineered single, triple, and multi-test cassettes.
- TLC-based Kits: Advanced drug abuse detection solutions.
All products are fully certified and hold official approvals from the Medical Equipment Department of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, ensuring the highest standards of safety and reliability.”
Strategic R&D & Evolution
Advancing Research (2017–2018) In 2017, Baharzist established a dedicated in-house R&D center to bridge the gap between scientific expertise and industrial production. This investment led to a major milestone in 2018: securing official licenses from the Ministry of Health for the production of diagnostic kits.
Academic Synergy & Growth (2019) By 2019, the company expanded its scientific reach through collaborations with distinguished researchers and university faculty. Operating within a specialized growth center, this industry-academia synergy enabled the development of high-demand laboratory solutions for governmental and institutional sectors.
Knowledge-Based Milestone (2021) The culmination of these efforts came in 2021 (1400), when Baharzist officially attained Knowledge-Based Enterprise status. This prestigious recognition was earned through the successful localization and large-scale production of essential diagnostic products, solidifying our role as a key partner in national healthcare.

BaharZist Products
Kashefyar
(quick detection of drugs and psychotropic substances)
The Kashf Yar kit shows the presence or absence of narcotics or psychotropic substances in the detected substance within 5 seconds. This kit produces a special colored product with each narcotic substance, which is the criterion for identifying the type of narcotic.
Liquid Lumin Test (ATP Test)
Swab for detecting microbial load of water, milk, fruit juice and beverages
Water lumen shows the level of microbial contamination of water in less than 1 minute. By immersing the sampling swab in the desired solution and placing it in the portable device, the degree of contamination of the water with all kinds of microorganisms (bacteria, parasites, fungi, algae, etc.) is determined.
Lumin test
(Swab to detect the microbial load of surfaces)
The lumen test shows the degree of contamination of surfaces within 30 seconds. By drawing a test swab on the surfaces and placing it in the portable luminometer device, the level of contamination of the surfaces with all types of bacteria, fungi, algae and generally all active microorganisms is determined based on the standard table.
Sharp Container
Introduction and specification of cylindrical safety box
Waste disposal is one of the most important challenges of infection control in order to maintain the health of the employees of hospitals and healthcare centers. Injuries with sharp objects are one of the most common injuries that always threaten health care personnel, and so far many cases of health care personnel contracting diseases such as AIDS, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C have been reported as a result of these injuries. Safety boxes are safety containers that have been produced to deal with these risks and to facilitate and help in the safe disposal of waste that may be contaminated.
