Situated in Uppsala, Sweden, Pharmacia Diagnostics has been leading the world-wide manufacturing field of diagnostic systems by taking a strong 70% of the global market share.  Products of Pharmacia Diagnostics are focused on Allergy, Self-immune system and Blood-testing instruments.

The allergy diagnostic system. UniCAP 100, is the most widely used product in terms of an automatic multiple diagnostic instrument in the world. It helps doctors to accurately diagnose if patient have asthmatic or allergic symptoms through their blood samples. Within three hours, UniCAP is able to make 48 diagnoses out of 500 testing samples and automatically creating a folder to store the data and test results.
