- Eurobio Scientific S.A. (ALERS.PA) develops, manufactures, and commercializes specialty in vitro diagnostic tests and products for clinical and research use, with a diversified portfolio spanning transplantation, infectious diseases, life sciences, and oncology. Core offerings include reagents and software for transplant matching and chimerism monitoring, culture media for cornea graft transplants, prognostic genomic tests for breast and prostate cancer, genetic molecular tests for infectious diseases, fertility, and dermatological conditions, cell culture media, quality controls, and serology products for infectious and autoimmune diseases under brands such as GenDx, GenBio, AlloMap, TQS (Tetanus Quick Stick), and EBX molecular biology family. The company also distributes third-party in vitro diagnostic products through its extensive network and provides dedicated reagents to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and research laboratories.
Headquartered in Les Ulis, in the Paris region of France, Eurobio Scientific operates production units in France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States, with subsidiaries and affiliates across more than 10 countries including the US (San Diego and Chicago), UK, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, and the Netherlands. Founded in 1962, the group employs over 360 people worldwide, including 50 R&D scientists, and generates more than 30% of revenues from proprietary products it designs and produces.
Recent major developments include the December 2024 takeover bid by EB Development, supported by NextStage AM and IK Partners, which secured 88.9% of the share capital to accelerate growth and external expansion in in vitro diagnostics and intelligent health markets. The company completed the acquisition of the Life Science unit of Voden Medical Instruments S.p.A. in Italy in March 2025, alongside prior strategic purchases such as GenDx in August 2022—a global leader in HLA typing for transplant compatibility—and integrations of DID Diagnostic International and Alpha Biotech. These moves, backed by NextStage AM since May 2022, strengthen proprietary product lines, management structure, and post-Covid transformation toward becoming a leading global specialty diagnostics provider.
