In 2006, Medigen Biotechnology Corp. acquired TBG for its potential in PCR diagnostics and to complement its existing drug development pipelines. To take advantage of the rapid growth in IVD market within China, Medigen Biotechnology Corp. acquired Shanghai Haoyuan in 2007 for its diagnostic distribution channels and licenses in China. By combining the strengths in TBG and Haoyuan, a new generation of Blood Screening was developed and succesfully marketed in China. In 2012, Perkin Elmer decided to acquired Shanghai Haoyuan from Medigen Biotechnology Corp. as a way to enter the Blood Screening business in China. While China is still a rapidlly growing market for IVD, TBG re-established the TBG Biotechnoloyg Inc. (Xiamen) as its new China subsidiary. The intent of this China facility is to go beyond the current scope of products and to become a major IVD leader in China. In early 2016, Progen Pharmaceiticals has decided to acquire TBG I. and rename the company to TBG Diagnostics Limited (TDL).
