HYCOR Biomedical is an American corporation specializing in the manufacture and supply of in vitro diagnostic products for blood testing for allergies. The company is headquartered in Garden Grove, California, with offices in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The company was acquired by Linden Capital Partners in early 2010.[1]
History
[edit]HYCOR Biomedical was founded by Steve Gorlin in 1981 in Garden Grove, California.[2]
Products and services
[edit]The fully-automated NOVEOS Immunoanalyzer uses only 4 microliters of sample per test, paramagnetic microparticles as a solid phase, chemiluminescence and fluorescence methodology for high sensitivity, and liquid ready-to-use reagents.
The HYTEC 288 Plus EIA system continues to serve laboratories around the world. The NOVEOS system helps reduce interference issues and the amount of a sample needed to perform testing.
Currently[when?], HYCOR Biomedical has an estimated 5% market share[3] in allergy testing.
Allergy testing
[edit]The more common method for allergy testing, called skin prick testing, relies on examining a patient's reaction to the exposed allergen,[4] and in some cases, invokes large systemic reactions.[5] With a growing need for testing younger patients[6] without putting them at risk, in vitro testing has become an increasingly more viable alternative.
