Ortho臨床診斷公司

????1994年,，強(qiáng)生公司（Johnson & Johnson）收購了伊士曼柯達(dá)公司的臨床診斷分公司,，并最終使其與強(qiáng)生的Ortho診斷公司合并，形成了目前這家公司,。作為強(qiáng)生的子公司,，它主要提供醫(yī)療診斷技術(shù)，如血液篩查設(shè)備和體外臨床試驗(yàn)技術(shù),。比如,，該公司推出了首個(gè)能篩查血液中HIV-1抗原的試劑盒，這種病毒是導(dǎo)致美國絕大多數(shù)艾滋病病例的元兇,。但推出該產(chǎn)品的同年,，柯達(dá)就出售了該公司，同時(shí)還以29億美元的低價(jià)出售了非處方藥生產(chǎn)企業(yè)Sterling Winthrop有限公司,，以加快剝離其醫(yī)療保健產(chǎn)品生產(chǎn)部門,。柯達(dá)此舉的理由是：更加專注于核心的影像業(yè)務(wù),，同時(shí)換取現(xiàn)金償還債務(wù),。

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics

????In 1994, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ,Fortune 500) acquired the Clinical Diagnostics Division of Eastman Kodak, which was eventually merged with J&J's Ortho Diagnostic to form this company. The subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson produces medical diagnostic technology, such as blood screening devices and in vitro clinical testing. For example, the company introduced the first test kit to screen blood for antigens for HIV-1, the virus responsible for the vast majority of AIDS cases in the U.S. The same year Kodak sold this division, it also sold off over-the-counter drug operation Sterling Winthrop Inc. for $2.9 billion in a greater effort to shed its health care units. The reasoning for the move: to focus more on its core imaging business and pay down debt.
