The History of HyClone

HyClone's Origins
HyClone began in 1967 when founder Dr. Rex Spendlove, then a professor at Utah State University, was studying a viral disease fatal to children, especially in developing countries. At that time, the quality of commercially available fetal bovine serum (FBS) was so poor that Dr. Spendlove was forced to develop his own methods to produce a high quality serum to meet his research needs. Recognizing a real need in the scientific community for high quality FBS, he founded a company that would meet that need.

Industry Innovator
HyClone pioneered serum collection, filtration, and processing techniques used to produce consistently high quality, reliable serum products. To produce FBS, HyClone collects fetal bovine blood using a patented closed-system collection method that results in serum with exceptionally low levels of endotoxin and hemoglobin. HyClone pioneered the use of high retentive filtration techniques including triple 100 nm and 40 nm pore size rated filters to ensure sterility. Vertical integration of all serum collection and manufacturing processes provides complete traceability and high quality.

HyClone Continues To Lead
HyClone has evolved into a world leader in manufacturing cell culture media, sera and bioprocess container systems. Today, HyClone serves customers worldwide from its headquarters and primary manufacturing site in Logan, Utah, sites in the United Kingdom, Belgium, China, and New Zealand, and an extensive network of sales representatives and international distributors.
