Diagnostics Products International

Diagnostic Products Corporation (DPC), now a key component of Siemens Healthineers, was a premier global provider of immunodiagnostic products and services. Established in 1971, the company specialized in the development and manufacture of automated instrumentation and test kits for a vast array of medical conditions, including cancer, cardiac disease, and endocrine disorders. DPC's flagship IMMULITE platform became a cornerstone of clinical laboratories worldwide, recognized for its high-throughput chemiluminescent assay technology. With a comprehensive menu of over 400 tests, the company played a vital role in advancing diagnostic capabilities in areas such as allergy, fertility, and infectious disease. In 2006, DPC was acquired by Siemens for approximately $1.86 billion, significantly bolstering Siemens' presence in the in vitro diagnostics market.
