About Trillium

Trillium

Trillium is the medical specialist publishing house Trillium GmbH Medizinischer Fachverlag at Jesenwanger Strasse 42b in 82284 Grafrath, publisher of the journals Trillium Diagnostik and Trillium Pathology, the Journal für trillium interdisziplinäre Medizin. The publishing house stands for high-quality specialist journalism and practice-oriented continuing education in medicine, with its journals committed to well-founded reporting on current developments in research, diagnostics, and therapy. The flagship journal Trillium Diagnostik appears quarterly with a print run of 10,000 copies, while Trillium Pathology, the journal of digital and computer-aided pathology, carries a print run of 3,000.

Overview

The quarterly rhythm gives the laboratory medicine community a reflective specialist pulse: four issues a year of Trillium Diagnostik, each with the scientific papers, the review articles, and the field reports that the IVD professionals need. The 10,000-copy print run places the journal among the established German-language laboratory medicine titles, with the 12-euro single issue price and the annual subscription rates published in the media data.

The Trillium Pathology journal addresses the pathology digitization wave: the virtual microscopy, the algorithm-supported diagnostics, and the workflow automation that the media data describe as crucial for the pathology lab's controlling and optimization. The 3,000-copy print run serves the pathology institutes' digitization decision makers, with the distribution key documenting the targeted specialist circulation.

The editorial structure shows the publishing house's academic depth: the publisher Prof. Dr. Georg Hoffmann, the chief editor Dr. Sabine Ramspott as V.i.S.d.P., the Innovation and Market editorship of Dr. Gabriele Egert and Dr. Kristin von Heyking, and the department management of Prof. Dr. Andreas Ambrosch for microbiology and Prof. Dr. Rudolf Gruber for laboratory medicine. The final editing of Linn-Kristin Adler and the graphics of Christina Hoffmann complete the production team.

Trillium Diagnostik is the quarterly journal for laboratory medicine and in-vitro diagnostics, with the ISSN 2198-1310, a DIN A4 format, and a print run of 10,000 copies. The single issue costs 12 euros. The journal's editorial team is led by publisher Prof. Dr. Georg Hoffmann and chief editor Dr. Sabine Ramspott, with Dr. Gabriele Egert managing the Innovation and Market editorship, Dr. Kristin von Heyking editing Innovation and Market, and the department management of Prof. Dr. Andreas Ambrosch for microbiology and Prof. Dr. Rudolf Gruber for laboratory medicine.

Trillium Pathology supports the pathology institutes in digitizing their infrastructure and work processes, with scientific papers and review articles on current developments in digital and computer-aided pathology and field reports providing a comprehensive overview of existing solutions and future developments. The journal covers the integration of pathology institutes into the telematics infrastructure, the networking of pathology information systems with clinical information systems and electronic patient records, and the communication standards from the HL7 family and DICOM to LOINC, SNOMED CT, and LDT.

History

The Grafrath base places the medical publishing house in the Munich western district, with the Jesenwanger Strasse address and the 08144 phone prefix documenting the publisher's local roots. The managing director Dipl.-Kfm. Martin Hoffmann leads the business side, while the publisher Prof. Dr. Georg Hoffmann, presumably of the same publishing family, leads the editorial program.

The journal portfolio's evolution from the Trillium Diagnostik quarterly to the Trillium Pathology digital pathology title tracks the laboratory medicine's digitization: from the classical IVD disciplines of laboratory medicine, microbiology, transfusion medicine, and human genetics to the digital and computer-aided pathology that the 2025 media data's ISSN 2752-1915 documents. The market overviews' expansion across the IVD spectrum shows the publishing house's service journalism growth.

The publishing house's mission statement, repeated across its congress pages, defines its editorial contract: high-quality specialist journalism and practice-oriented continuing education in medicine, with the journals committed to well-founded reporting on current developments in research, diagnostics, and therapy.

Coverage and Content

The market overviews are the publishing house's reference journalism: the regularly published and updated tabular overviews of innovative developments and products in medicine, from the NAT procedures and antigen detections to the quality control materials. The overviews focus on the proven and innovative test procedures and systems from the full in-vitro diagnostics spectrum, with the alphabetical provider sorting and the randomized company logos, and the disclaimer that the overviews base on manufacturer information and make no claim to completeness.

The congress journalism extends the brand into the professional meetings: the German Congress for Laboratory Medicine with the 20th DGKL annual meeting 2025 and the 7th DVTA biomedical analytics conference, documented in the event calendar with the Trillium publishing house's congress presence. The special congress issues of Trillium Diagnostik carry the scientific program to the readers who cannot attend.

The academy program delivers the practice-oriented continuing education: the oncological symposia and the industry exhibitions that complement the journals' specialist journalism. The Agilent industry exhibition pages, with the exome sequencing panels and the NGS library preparation systems, show the academy-industry interface that the publishing house maintains.

Trillium Diagnostik covers the in-vitro diagnostics spectrum: laboratory medicine, microbiology, transfusion medicine, human genetics, pathology, and IT. The market overviews, regularly published and updated, cover the innovative developments and products in medicine, focusing on proven and innovative test procedures and systems from the full IVD spectrum. The gastrointestinal infection detection systems 2026 overview, with its NAT procedures, antigen and antibody detections, and quality control materials, shows the overviews' tabular depth.

The quality assurance journalism addresses the laboratory medicine's paradigm shift: the increasing complexity of personalized diagnostics, the IVDR requirements, and the highly sensitive application fields. The session on quality in laboratory medicine, led by Prof. Petersmann and Dr. Kessler, discusses the concepts from regulatory standards and interdisciplinary cooperation that can strengthen care quality, from the EU regulation 2017/746's validation and documentation requirements to the in-house biomarker tests.
