Bio-Rad Laboratories was founded in 1952 by husband and wife team David
and Alice Schwartz. The couple first met in a class at the University of
CaliforniaBerkeley, from which they both graduated.
The idea that launched the company came about unexpectedly during a game
of bridge. During the card the players, including Dave and Alice, joked about
products that were not but maybe should have been on the market.

Someone suggested creating tobacco mosaic virus, a virus Alice was using for
scientific research and one that required many days to prepare.
The following day, he and Alice searched their neighborhood in Berkeley for a
place to launch a company with a mission to accelerate the scientific discovery
process by providing products and tools to researchers
.
.
n the years that followed, the couple continued to expand their product line.
They worked closely with their customers to gain a better understanding of what
researchers were trying to accomplish
n 1967, Bio-Rad entered the field of clinical diagnostics with the development
of its first test kit based on separation techniques and materials developed for
life science research.
Bio-Rad expanded into the field of analytical and measuring instrument
systems through internal research and development efforts and acquisitions in
the late 1970s and 1980s.
n 1999, Bio-Rad acquired the stock of Pasteur Sanofi Diagnostics. This
strengthened the company#s position in the HV and infectious disease
diagnostic product market.
n 2000 and 2004, Bio-Rad divested its semiconductor, optoelectronic
metrology, and confocal microscopy product lines.
n late 2007, Bio-Rad acquired Switzerland-based DiaMed Holding AG,
enhancing Bio-Rad#s position in the immunohematology market
