The medical technology business was initially focused on identifying genetic predispositions to cancer but since 2020 it has manufactured one million PCR tests and 10 million rapid tests, largely for people travelling overseas.
Founder and chief executive James Price announced in March that the company had struck a deal with Tesco to supply 1,400 supermarkets with lateral flow tests for sale to the general public.
Mr Price also said that the company was going through the approval process to supply Covid testing kits to Australia, America and countries in the Middle East.
Leigh-based Aspire Platforms, a construction hire operator, came second in the North West list, and 11th nationally.
The company posted sales of £14m for its latest financial year, a CAGR of 167.3%.
Third was Liverpool-based consumer brands retailer Brandbuildr which had a CAGR of 135.3% after sales of £17.6m.
Another entry into the list is Wilmslow-based construction company MTX which placed sixth.
The business achieved sales of £83.4m at a CAGR of 85.7%.
Managing director David Hartley said: "We’ve been pioneering modern methods of construction (MMC) for over 20 years and it’s exciting to see so many more clients adopting these innovative construction methods to help them save time, reduce their carbon footprint, improve safety and deliver quality buildings.
"MMC is fast becoming the norm rather than the exception. Our growth is built upon our consistently high performing team, and creating an environment in which they can thrive, and of course our long-standing, forward-thinking clients."
