Neogen acquires International Diagnostic Systems
Neogen Corporation has acquired International Diagnostic Systems Corp (IDS), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of test kits to detect drug residues in food and animal feed, and drugs in forensic and animal samples.
Based in St. Joseph, Mich., IDS has been in business for more than 20 years, and offers approximately 40 products. In addition to significant sales in the United States, IDS has distribution in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and China.
