Expands DCN Dx’s footprint in the point-of-use testing and sampling market
CARLSBAD, Calif.—DCN Dx, a global leader in the end-to-end development, manufacture, and commercialization of point-of-use tests, today announced it has completed its acquisition of Biomed Diagnostics, Inc., a microbiological testing products company based in White City, Ore.
The acquisition expands DCN Dx's footprint in the point-of-use testing and sampling markets in both human and veterinary verticals.
Biomed has an established history of developing tools for the surveillance of microorganisms that lead to infectious diseases in humans and animals. Originally developed for use in low-resource settings, these tools are now recognized around the world for their utility, ease of use, and accuracy.

We're excited to integrate Biomed's capabilities into our own as we provide world-class solutions to our clients."
