Company History
The founders of TECHLAB met in the late 1970s at Virginia Tech’s Anaerobe Laboratory, where they were investigating diagnosis and treatments for Clostridioides difficile (formerly Clostridium) infection. Led by Dr. Tracy Wilkins, the researchers developed the first commercial diagnostic reagents for C. difficile disease.
Demand for the antiserum grew quickly when it was discovered that C. difficile is a major hospital pathogen, and TECHLAB was incorporated in 1989 to produce and distribute the product.
