Based in Solihull, West Midlands, we are a wholly owned subsidiary of Biotest AG our German parent company located in Frankfurt. The parent organisation was established in 1946 by Dr Carl A. Schleussner and his son Hans. Influenced by the findings of Karl Landsteiner (1868-1943), they initially concentrated their research efforts on blood group serology. In 1948, Biotest introduced the first test serum for Anti-D, the first product in the world for the determination of the Rhesus factor. The company has since moved on to develop even greater customer solutions and this website will offer you information on the whole of our product range.
All of our products comply with the IVD (in vitro diagnostics) directive and are CE marked.
