Laboratoire Cerba was founded in 1967 to act as a new type of
reference center for special tests being carried out for medical
laboratories and hospitals in the local region. In January 1999,
it merged with the Special Medical Test Center of the Pasteur
Institute in Paris to become the largest Specialized Biology
Laboratory in the whole of Europe.
Size helps Cerba to keep up to date with all the advances in
medical testing technology by providing the resources to meet
all the reasonable expectations of health care providers and
help them offer their patients the best possible care.
The company's diverse range of activities covers most medical disciplines
and are split between mutually complementary departments, namely Specialized
Biology, Genetics,
and Pathology.
In March 2001, an Animal Health Department was inaugurated.
Cerba is constantly developing both its human and its technical
resources, imposing strict quality standards which have resulted
in its being granted COFRAC
accreditation
