The
Upjohn Diagnostics operation started
in 1976 and was formalized as a
business unit of the company in
1981. It was financially successful
from the start. I can remember
quality testing some of their
products in the early 1980s.
Diagnostics survived all the way to
2004 when Pfizer sold it. It is now
called Phadia and owned by Thermo
Fisher Scientific.
