Our history
Medirox merges with Nordic Biomarker creating a leading supplier of reagents, calibrators, and controls for coagulation diagnostics. Our new 2000 sqm custom built, state-of-the-art production facility and clotting center of excellence opens in Linköping. • The vWF:ag immunological assay is launched. • Nordic Biomarker receives the Swedish Government's export award Exporter of the Year 2022.
Our new 5000 sqm custom built, state-of-the-art production facility and Immunologic/Chromogenic center of excellence opens in Umeå. • The Protein C chromogenic assays is launched.
Our patented product MRX PT DOAC, that we believe has the potential to revolutionize that DOAC testing market, is launched as research use only kit.
Nordic Biomarker acquires Medirox. Medirox, a Swedish leading original manufacturer of clotting and chromogenic reagents adding products like PT Quick, PT Owren, APTT, Fib Clauss, Antithrombin and TT to the group’s product offering.
To meet the interest from the Asia market, after several years of research and development a latex reagent for Fibrin(ogen) Degradation Products (FDP) was released.
Nordic Biomarker released the first Free Protein S assay in the world, available on an OEM-basis.
Nordic Biomarker CE-marked the Red and Blue D-dimer kits. In its strive to supply a wider range of specialty reagents for coagulation analyzers, the R&D-project for a Free Protein S Latex Immunoassay was initiated.
To meet the quality expectations from its OEM-partner’s, Nordic Biomarker had worked from the start to comply with applicable standards and regulatory requirements. This work was now awarded with the first ISO 13485 Certification.
Nordic Biomarker released its first product for sale. This was Red D-dimer, which it is still one of the company’s main products. The successful launch of Red D-dimer gave Nordic Biomarker the confidence to move into a 1200 m2 production facility.
Nordic Biomarker was founded by Dr. Gunnar Pohl and Dr. Göran Aronsson. After several years of experience from the IVD-industry, they had realized a market demand for an independent OEM-supplier of high-quality reagents for coagulation analyzers.
