Paris, July 1st, 2026 ,8 AM CET
Eurobio Scientific (FR0013240934, ALERS, PEA-PME eligible), a leading French group in in-vitro diagnostics for transplantation, oncology and infectious diseases, today announces that it has closed the acquisition of CareDx AB in Sweden and its fully owned subsidiaries in the United States and Australia that constitutes the Lab Products division of CareDx, Inc., a US global precision medicine company focused on transplantation.
Combined with Eurobio Scientific affiliate GenDx's expertise in next-generation sequencing ("NGS") assays, software and global commercial footprint, this acquisition brings together two highly complementary portfolios in human leukocyte antigen ("HLA)" typing and transplantation diagnostics.
Strategic Rationale
This acquisition enables GenDx to offer a more comprehensive portfolio across the transplantation IVD workflow, from pre-transplant HLA typing to post-transplant monitoring solutions. The combined entity will offer an expanded portfolio of molecular assays, reagents, and software, with the aim of enabling laboratories to streamline operations and improve clinical outcomes.
The integration of CareDx's Lab Products division strengthens GenDx's presence in key markets, including the United States, Europe and Asia-Pacific, while enhancing its ability to serve both research and clinical laboratories.
Key Highlights
- Expanded Product Portfolio: Integration of CareDx's HLA typing kits, including real-time polymerase chain reaction ("PCR") and NGS-based solutions, with GenDx's NGS assays and software platforms
- Global Commercial Scale: Enhanced distribution capabilities and customer access across major transplantation markets
- Technology Synergies: Acceleration of innovation in high-resolution HLA typing, hybrid capture, and transplantation monitoring workflows
- Operational Efficiencies: Opportunities to streamline manufacturing and supply chain operations
Transaction details
Eurobio Scientific has acquired CareDx's Lab Products business for a cash purchase price in the amount of €145 million ($170 million) approximately, after customary adjustments.

"We aim at delivering comprehensive solutions and continued innovation to all our customers and contribute to our patient quality of life."
John Hanna, CEO of CareDx, added: "We are pleased to complete this transaction and believe the Lab Products portfolio is well positioned under Eurobio Scientific's ownership and global IVD platform."
