LGC has acquired The Native Antigen Company (NAC), one of the world\u2019s leading suppliers of high quality infectious disease antigens and antibodies.
\nNAC is a developer, manufacturer and supplier of critical reagents to the in vitro diagnostic (IVD), pharmaceutical and academic sectors. It offers a comprehensive portfolio of native and recombinant infectious disease antigens and related products including pathogen receptors, virus-like particles and antibodies for use in immunoassay applications, vaccine development and quality control solutions. NAC was one of the first companies globally to offer antigens for SARS-COV-2 and continues to play an important role in supporting the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
\nThe acquisition strengthens LGC\u2019s existing product offering to the IVD sector, which includes a range of quality assurance tools, immunoassay reagents and disease state plasma as well as probes and primers for molecular diagnostics.
\n\u201cNAC is a natural fit with our clinical diagnostics business and will enable us to provide an expanded portfolio of critical reagents to our customers. NAC\u2019s focus on infectious disease is highly complementary with our existing offer to this segment comprising controls, reference materials, MDx tools and other components,\u201d said Michael Sweatt, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Clinical Diagnostics, LGC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
