Dade Behring's products and services comprise reagents and consumables, medical diagnostic instruments, and maintenance services. These are categorized into four business segments.

The company has a routine chemistry/immunochemistry instrument platform called Dimension. The hemostasis business (18%) provides tests to measure a patient's ability to form and dissolve blood clots.
