The car parking and road infrastructure of the facility was constructed and finished by Torcon Inc. The complex was designed by the architect Einhorn Yaffee Prescott (EYP) of New York City, who was responsible for the overall master planning of the 63-acre campus. Kit volumes in Branchburg have grown about 20% during the last 18 months due to the introduction of new products and an increase and diversification in existing products.

Overall, Branchburg produces around 130,000 kits per month, which are distributed worldwide. The production range also includes reagents for a variety of diagnostic platforms, including AmpliChip microarray technology. These are used for the detection and quantification of infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), as well as for blood screening, including the west nile virus kit 1, which is in clinical trials in the US and Canada. In the New Jersey manufacturing facilities, Roche Diagnostics produces 337 different diagnosis kits for the research, in vitro diagnostics (IVD) and blood screening markets. The manufacturing centre will employ a patented technology for the development and production of biochemical reagents and the manufacture of diagnostic kits used by HIV patients to monitor the effects of daily medications.
