The company is headquartered in Garden Grove, California, with offices inAmsterdam, Netherlands.[1] HYCOR Biomedical mainly produces tests and equipment relating to Allergy.[2] Current equipment released by HYCOR includes the fully-automated NOVEOS Immunoanalyzer that 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 is the first BIG change in routine allergy testing in over 20 years, capturing the attention of laboratories looking to reduce interference issues that they face with other products, and those looking to improve the patient and clinician experience by reducing the amount of sample needed to perform testing.
