Eurofins Clinical Diagnostics UK
County Pathology, which was a UK-based pathology service provider got acquired by Eurofins in 2018, and now trades as Eurofins Clinical Diagnostics UK Limited. The acquisition allowed Eurofins to strengthen its clinical diagnostics presence in the UK and integrate County Pathology into its wider network of specialised labs.
County Pathology Laboratories (Before Acquisition)
Eurofins Clinical Diagnostics UK Limited, previously known as County Pathology, was acquired by Eurofins in 2018. Prior to the acquisition, County Pathology was a well-established, private pathology service in the UK, offering a range of diagnostic services to healthcare providers, hospitals, and clinics. They specialised in areas like histopathology, which focuses on examining tissue samples to detect diseases, and cytology, the study of cells. Additionally, they provided blood testing services, including haematology and clinical chemistry, all with a reputation for rapid results—critical for timely medical care.
Acquisition by Eurofins (2018)
In 2018, County Pathology became part of Eurofins Scientific, a global leader in laboratory services. This acquisition allowed Eurofins to expand its clinical diagnostics services within the UK.
County Pathology, now operating under the name Eurofins Clinical Diagnostics UK Limited, gained access to advanced technology and a wider network of laboratories. This strengthened Eurofins' presence in the UK and enhanced its ability to offer high-quality diagnostic solutions, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when diagnostic services like PCR testing were in high demand.With the integration, the core services that County Pathology was known for—histopathology, cytology, and blood testing—became part of Eurofins' broader clinical diagnostics division.
Today, Eurofins Clinical Diagnostics UK Limited continues to provide essential pathology services across the UK, benefiting from the resources and global expertise of Eurofins.
