CANDOR is an internationally oriented enterprise which develops, produces and distributes premium solutions for immunoassays.
The portfolio comprises HAMA and interference blockers, Stabilizers, Blockers and other high quality Buffer Solutions.
All CANDOR products are manufactured in the own plant in Wangen, Germany. We set a high value on product quality “Made in Germany”.

Our intensive service also includes reliable, informed and individual care of customer requests concerning immunoassays. Please feel free to contact us. 

Data & facts:

  • Year of foundation: 2004
  • Portfolio of more than 50 different products
  • Over 1000 customers
  • Customers in more than 50 countries
  • Over 40 sales partners in more than 20 countries 

CANDOR developed a solution to overcome these problems of interference. This innovative solution enables for reliable and reproducible assays even in critical matrices.It has been introduced in laboratories worldwide with great success. CANDOR calls this solution LowCross-Buffer as it “lowers cross-reactivities” and reduces other interference like matrix effects. Nowadays scientists worldwide can trust in the results of their assay by using LowCross-Buffer routinely.

Additional solutions to further enhance reliability, sensitivity and reproducibility of immunoassays have been developed since this time. Today CANDOR supplies more than 50 high-quality solutions for immunoassays to research and development laboratories as well as to manufacturers of routine testing kits for human, veterinary, food and environmental diagnostics. 

For challenging assays or analytes CANDOR develops and produces assay-specific solutions to enable premium results for each specific application.

Carbon neutrality

The Production at CANDOR Bioscience is carried out carbon neutral. Since 2010, CANDOR is solely supplied with green electricity from the EWS (Electric utility Schönau), which is produced completely without fossil fuels or nuclear energy. In 2019, CANDOR installed a photovoltaic system with a nameplate capacity of 21.45 kWp. All areas of the company were optimized according to highest energy efficiency and the electric lighting was completely switched to LED illumination. This minimizes the energy consumption and the overall costs.
In 2014, the gas heating of the CANDOR building was replaced by an efficient electric driven heat pump. This again reduced the energy demand drastically. All taken measures lead to the situation that the energy for the production and the offices as well as the power consumption for the heating are completely covered by green electricity.
