Our history
The company’s history began in 1904 when Achille Sclavo discovered anti-anthrax serum and he founded the Tuscan Serotherapy and Vaccinogenic Institute in Siena.
During the First World War, the Institute extended the production of serums and bacterial vaccines to an industrial level. In 1929 the Institute began the production of anti-diphtheria and anti-tetanus anatoxin and, later, of the smallpox vaccine. In 1934 the first diagnostic product appeared as a medical adjuvant for a correct medical diagnosis. Since then, Sclavo has been recognized as a leading company in IVD.
Currently, Sclavo Diagnostics International SpA. is a Chemic-Pharmaceutical Company whose activities span from Research & Development to Industrialization and Commercialization of IVD, with particular focus on Clinical Chemistry, Plasma and Urinary Coagulation, Serology, Hematology, Microbiology.
