The business was named MetPath, for Metropolitan Pathology, and it quickly became the leading independent testing laboratory in the greater New York metropolitan area. Corning Incorporated purchased MetPath in 1982 and continued to build the company. Also in 1994, Corning acquired Nichols Institute, world-renowned for esoteric testing. Today, Nichols Institute is Quest Diagnostics’ esoteric testing laboratory and research and development center.

On December 31, 1996, Corning Incorporated spun off the laboratory testing business to its shareholders, establishing Quest Diagnostics as an independent company trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the Symbol “DGX.” With the acquisition of SmithKline Beecham Clinical Laboratories (SBCL) on August 16, 1999, Quest Diagnostics became the nation’s leading provider of diagnostic testing, information and services
