Originally - and very early - SBIR involved as Hybridoma Sciences, in August 1986 the firm was renamed HYCOR Biomedical Inc. In the business of manufacturing and marketing in vitro diagnostics products - and with no susbequent SBIR involvement - the firm went on to collaborate with various other players, offering allergy and autoimmune testing products and also providing AUTOSTAT kits enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay used for detecting autoimmune disorders. Serving clinical laboratories, hospitals, and doctorÂs offices in Germany and internationally, the firm is headquartered in Indianapolis, IN with additional offices in Garden Grove, CA; and Kassel, Germany. HYCOR Biomedical Inc. is a former subsidiary of Stratagene Corporation. As a vehicle to take itself public, in 2003 Stratagene (tools for the life sciences/research market) undertook a reverse merge with Hycor Biomedical. In 2013, Hycor Biomedical sold its urinalysis business to an affiliate of One Rock Capital Partners, Laurel Crown Partners, and StoneCreek Capital.
