About HYCOR Biomedical
HYCOR Biomedical is a global manufacturer and provider of in vitro diagnostic products for allergy blood testing. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Garden Grove, California, the company has been serving the needs of clinical laboratories, hospitals and physician practices in allergy diagnostics for over four decades. The product portfolio includes the fully automated NOVEOS® allergy platform for specific IgE with a sample volume of only 4 µL per test, as well as the established HYTEC® product line including HYTEC Plus 288. The microparticle technology with its large reaction surface reduces interferences from biotin, IgG/IgG4 and CCD binding; the reagents are liquid and ready to use. In addition to allergen-specific IgE testing, the NOVEOS platform offers component-resolved allergy diagnostics (molecular allergology) and tryptase testing. HYCOR maintains four locations in Garden Grove (USA), Hoofddorp (Netherlands), Paris (France) and Göttingen (Germany) and distributes its products worldwide via a distributor network.
