Centrus International, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Eastman Chemical Company, is a new global diagnostics company formed to provide microbiology testing solutions designed to reduce the risks and costs associated with product contamination and recall to food, dairy, meat and nutraceutical processing. The establishment of this business within Eastman’s Developing Business Division brings together technologies developed in-house, such as the Envisio system, a magnetic assay system, as well as acquired technologies. Prior to establishing Centrus, Eastman acquired BioSys, Inc., the manufacturer of BioSys 32 and BioSys 128 microbial test systems. Under Centrus, this technology has been re-branded as Soleris.
