Virax Forged New Distribution Agreement
Virax Biolabs (VRAX) has announced a new distribution partnership with Europa Biosite, a leading life science distributor across Europe. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cambridge Bioscience, Virax Biolabs will commercialize its ImmuneSelect Research Use portfolio in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
ImmuneSelect is a comprehensive suite of profiling solutions designed to assess adaptive immunity, which plays a crucial role in understanding immune responses, particularly T cell function.
The company expects this collaboration with Europa Biosite to significantly enhance its market presence in the UK and Ireland, making its immune profiling solutions more accessible to researchers and pharmaceutical companies.
Europa Biosite will leverage its established infrastructure to facilitate rapid product distribution and provide local technical support, ensuring the seamless delivery of ImmuneSelect solutions.
VRAX’s Expansion of Mpox Virus Detection Kit Distribution
In addition to its collaboration with Europa Biosite, Virax Biolabs has extended its existing exclusive distribution agreement with Cosmos Health. The Mpox Virus Real-Time PCR Detection Kits’ commercialization in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations is the main objective of this agreement.
The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has approved these detection kits, which are CE-marked for distribution in Europe. Reliable findings are obtained in less than 70 minutes with PCR detection kits, which have sensitivity and specificity values of 96.7% and 93.72%, respectively.
By fortifying its collaboration with Cosmos Health, Virax Biolabs hopes to increase its geographic reach and provide medical practitioners in the GCC area with vital diagnostic resources for managing the Mpox virus.
Strategic Expansion via International Collaborations
Virax Biolabs keeps extending its market reach by forming key alliances. The agreements with Europa Biosite and Cosmos Health are crucial steps in the company’s plan to provide innovative diagnostic solutions to broader markets.
