EUROIMMUN Medizinische Labordiagnostika AG

The company was founded in 1987 from the University of Lübeck (Schleswig-Holstein, Germany).

Among the initial pioneering achievements of EUROIMMUN was the development of BIOCHIPs in 1983. Today, the company uses virtually fully automated BIOCHIP fragmentation and production machines which are designed and produced in-house and are in use worldwide.

Furthermore, the company commands a broad technology base, which it has drawn on to stimulate and promote fundamental new developments in medical laboratory diagnostics. Examples are the molecular biological synthesis of designer antigens, the computer-based immunofluorescence microscopy (CAIFM) and the development of multiparameter microarrays for the identification of gene polymorphisms and pathogens.

High professional competence and continuing education are essential in the use and distribution of EUROIMMUN products. The EUROIMMUN Academy receives more than 1000 customers from over 100 countries for scientific trainings every year. Moreover, there are training laboratories in several countries. Furthermore, the accredited Institute for Quality Assessment affiliated to EUROIMMUN offers quality assessment schemes to help to maintain a high quality standard in external laboratories.
