Renowned industry expert Albert Pattison kick started the company in 2002 with a core mission to manufacture and supply the Manchester Capillary Reagent.
The Manchester Capillary Reagent is the first-choice solution for INR monitoring and a corner stone of our business.
We moved our headquarters to a new state of the art purpose-built office and laboratory site at the Rivergreen Business Centre, Queens Meadow, Hartlepool.
Our Platelet Aggregation work was a shrewd business move for Hart Bio. It filled a gap in the market and enabled us to work with industry experts to create a full suite of testing capabilities for whole blood and plasma samples, putting us ahead of the competition.
We secured an exclusive distribution partnership with leading German medical diagnostics supplier Haemochrom Diagnostica.
The contract allows us to supply its platelet function and platelet aggregation reagent lines into several European countries.
We bagged a double honour, winning in both the Export and Innovation awards at the North East Business Awards in 2015.
We were the only organisation lucky enough to collect two trophies on the night.
We represented the UK at the International Society of Thrombosis, where we were joined by distinguished companies from more than 300 medical societies and government health agencies from 65 countries.
The conference called for hospital-based risk assessments for venous thromboembolism (VTE).
We've since moved this to a regular occurrence, aiming to attend each of the (now annual) ISTH events.
This was a bumper year for us as we received awards at both the North East Business Awards and Made in the North East Awards.
We’re seen as a pillar of the community in the region and in 2017 our founder Alby Pattison was awarded the Freedom of Hartlepool for services to the local community.
Alby received his MBE for services to international trade and the Tees Valley economy.
He received the award at a glittering ceremony at Buckingham Palace accompanied by his wife and family.
In 2018 we opened our 6th bespoke, humidity-controlled production lab. This gave us even more capacity and agility to support our expanding customer base.
All our facilities help our team to develop and control our products and processes with utmost precision.
Alex worked alongside our founder Alby for six years prior to taking over the helm as Managing Director.
He was previously Head of Research and Development, playing a crucial role in the company’s strategic direction.
Since our small beginning, we’ve grown and developed year on year, expanding our expertise and resources.
Our labs are now supplied with top-of-the-line equipment including three fully automated bespoke freeze driers, and pellet production facilities. Alongside our bioburden testing facilities and dedicated documentation archives, we’re proud of our industry-leading state-of-the-art capabilities.
