History of Eurofins GeneScan USA,Inc.
Eurofins GeneScan is the globally recognized leader for the detection for
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).
Eurofins GeneScan's U.S. laboratory is located in suburban New
Orleans, LA. In 1998, the company began offering GMO testing
services to the US market utilizing the transplanted technical expertise
developed in the Eurofins GeneScan Research and Development hub in Freiburg,
Germany. Since then, Eurofins GeneScan USA has quickly become the premier
brand name for GMO testing in the USA. Its commitment to Quality
and Scientific Expertise, supported by its ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation,
has made it the laboratory of choice for GMO testing.
In early 2003, Eurofins GeneScan became a subsidiary of Eurofins
Scientific S.A., a publicly traded biotech company located in
Nantes, France, in the heart of Europe's biotech corridor. Eurofins
Scientific is an international laboratory organization providing
bio-analytical support services. The Group specializes in delivering
