PROFILE |
 |
Some company names are coy; then there's Diagnostic Products. The firm is one of the world's leading independent makers of immunodiagnostic kits that detect minute amounts of allergens, drugs, or hormones in human and animal tissue. Demand for traditional test kits (which use radioisotopes) has declined in the face of environmental concerns. In response, the company has concentrated on adding nonisotopic tests, including a fully automated testing system called IMMULITE (almost 80% of sales). Diagnostic Products' more than 400 kinds of test kits detect diseases, allergies, or substance abuse; they are sold in more than 100 countries, primarily to hospitals and laboratories.
