In July 2012, One Lambda Inc was acquired by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. One Lambda develops and distributes histocompatibility reagents and semi-automated laboratory equipment for hospitals, research centers, and institutions involved in human organ transplantation and paternity testing. The reagents produced are primarily used to determine genetic compatibility between an organ donor and a recipient. Using the Terasaki tray design, Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing tests or histocompatibility tests are produced with these reagents. The company markets several lines of HLA typing tests utilizing both serological and molecular technologies. One Lambda also manufactures a comprehensive line of laboratory instrumentation and computer software products that are used to simplify and automate testing procedures and final test evaluation.
