It split off the research-based pharmaceuticals into AbbVie in 2013. In 2017, revenues were $27.39 billion. Abbott has a broad range of branded generic pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostics, and nutrition products. The company's in-vitro diagnostics business performs immunoassays and blood screening.
