In Vitro Diagnostics

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, headquartered in Raritan, New Jersey, is a leading global in vitro diagnostics (IVD) company providing high-value tests for hospitals, clinical laboratories, and blood-transfusion centres. Its VITROS immunoassay and clinical-chemistry platforms are installed in thousands of hospital labs worldwide and use proprietary dry-slide technology that eliminates liquid reagent preparation. Ortho's immunohematology instruments — used for blood typing and antibody screening in transfusion medicine — are market leaders in the US, Europe, and Japan. The company funds academic laboratory-medicine research on cardiac biomarkers, infectious disease serology, and transfusion safety. Clinical pathology departments at university medical schools use Ortho's platforms as reference instruments in method-comparison studies and novel biomarker validation programmes.
