This is the first commercial product to emerge from the development program announced in January 2025, whereby Microbix committed to extend its capabilities into recombinant (i.e., synthetic) antigen production to complement its longstanding expertise in native antigen production. This internally-made recombinant antigen has been developed, manufactured at commercial scale, and fully validated. Accordingly, it is now being used in Microbix's QAPs to support clinical laboratory proficiency testing or external quality assessment programs ("PT" or "EQA"), and is being incorporated into PROCEEDx®? (RUO) and REDx®? (IVD) branded QAPs used to support ongoing quality management of clinical laboratories or other testing sites. Microbix has 40 years of expertise in the technically-challenging manufacturing of native viral antigens, which requires culturing of mammalian host cells, the addition and growth of target viruses in those cells, and, finally, the extraction, purification, and inactivation of high-quality components for infectious-disease tests in commercial quantities.Reported Earnings • Dec 18Full year 2025 earnings: EPS and revenues exceed analyst expectationsFull year 2025 results: CA$0.016 loss per share (down from CA$0.026 profit in FY 2024).

Launches New Products to Support H3N2 Flu TestingMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced the commercial launch of QAPs™? quality assessment products and availability of QUANTDx™? reference materials to support antigen or molecular tests for H3N2 strains of seasonal Influenza A (a.k.a., the "Flu"). H3N2, alongside H1N1, is a common type of Influenza A that circulates annually, with H3N2 more prone to "antigenic drift," changing the surface of the virus and its level of recognition by antibodies. These changes can reduce the level of protection natural immunity and vaccine-induced immunity normally provide. Specifically, Microbix's Respiratory QAPs formulated with H3N2 can be used as safe, reliable, and stable molecularetics of patient-samples for training of persons administering tests, validation of new testing sites, and verification of instrument/assay performance. Depending on the nature of their needs, users can select either PROCEEDx®? (RUO) or REDx®? (IVD) variants of these QAPs. Upon request, H3N2 reference materials can also be made available, as part of Microbix's QUANTDx product-line. QUANTDx products are well-characterized, accurately-quantified and fully-traceable reference materials that enable assay developers to establish key analytical performance metrics - such as LoD (limit of detection), Sens sensitivity (positive accuracy), and Specificity (negative accuracy) - knowledge that is essential for validation and regulatory submissions. Microbix also applies its biological expertise and infrastructure to develop other proprietary products and technologies, most notably Kinlytic®? urokinase, a biologic thrombolytic drug used to treat blood clots, and agents to support diagnostic testing (e.g., its DxTM™? for patient-sample collection). Microbix is traded on the TSX and OTCQX, and headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.분석 기사 • Nov 21Subdued Growth No Barrier To Microbix Biosystems Inc.'s (TSE:MBX) PriceThere wouldn't be many who think Microbix Biosystems Inc.'s ( TSE:MBX ) price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 1.6x is...분석 기사 • Aug 15Is Microbix Biosystems (TSE:MBX) A Risky Investment?Warren Buffett famously said, 'Volatility is far from synonymous with risk.'

Strains of the Flu are named according to variations in the proteins that help them to infect host cells – the Hemagglutinin protein and the Neuraminidase protein. There is a heightened risk of a pandemic when one or both of the H or N proteins have not been circulating in human populations. H5N1 is such a relatively novel strain of the Flu virus, which has demonstrated the ability to infect birds, cattle, and humans. H5N1 Flu is now circulating on multiple continents and may become a new pandemic, with it having demonstrated a staggering rate of severe pneumonia and death across those infected thus far. It is therefore critical to prove whether established MDx tests can accurately and reliably detect H5N1 Flu. Such MDx Flu tests include both regulator-approved assays and laboratory-developed tests, respectively classed as “IVD” and “LDT”. Clinical labs must objectively prove that every such assay they are using can reliably detect H5N1 Flu requiring novel quality assessment products and new PT programs. Microbix and API have been collaborating to fulfill this critical and urgent need. Using its virology and synthetic biology expertise, Microbix has created a novel QAP that provides the whole genome of H5N1 Flu, but which does not require use of nor contain any infectious materials. In turn, API is initiating a proficiency testing program whereby clinical labs can independently confirm their MDx assays and the established workflows in use will reliably detect H5N1 Flu. This pilot PT program is now live, and API will invite a limited number of labs to participate before such a program is offered to all API clients.Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • Jan 10Insider exercised options to buy CA$84k worth of stock.On the 6th of January, Mark Luscher exercised options to buy 200k shares at a strike price of around CA$0.29, costing a total of CA$58k.

Announces its Intentions to Broaden its Platform Capabilities to Enable Production of Wide Range of Test Ingredients (Antigens) by Using Recombinant Production TechnologiesMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced its intentions to broaden its platform capabilities to enable production of a wide range of test ingredients (Antigens) by using recombinant production technologies. Directing existing in-house synthetic biology capabilities to this project will create large-scale recombinant Antigens production to complement and expand Microbix’s addressable market share as a key supplier to manufacturers of immunoassays – the class of diagnostic tests that establishes exposure to, or immunity from, pathogens. Microbix has been a leading producer of purified and inactivated Antigens from native (natural) bacterial and viral organisms for more than three decades. It supplies these critical biological ingredients to more than 100 international manufacturers of immunoassays where test accuracy is maximized by using such Antigens. Microbix’s sales of native Antigens totaled CAD 13.8 million in fiscal 2024, an increase of 44% from the prior year and generated from a catalogue of dozens of these complex and valuable biomaterials. However, to date Microbix has not broadly participated in making Antigens using the recombination of genetic materials from different species (i.e., recombinant technologies). Such recombinant Antigens can have price advantages relative to native Antigens and are the choice of immunoassay makers in situations where they can be used without sacrificing assay performance. Microbix offering recombinant Antigens will increase the extent to which it can grow sales of this important segment of its business. Microbix has therefore decided to fund the augmentation of its internal capabilities in synthetic biology in order to build the processes and capacity for production of recombinant Antigens. This will entail adding trained staff, equipment, biological vectors, and cell-lines. With the infrastructure and capabilities already built-out over the past several years, the incremental investment needed to drive the opening of these new market opportunities will be modest, at about CAD 0.5 million per year.분석 기사 • Jan 04Microbix Biosystems Inc.

IPVC is the annual conference of the International Papillomavirus Society (“IVPS”), a not-for-profit organization of biomedical scientists investigating human and animal papillomaviruses and their associated diseases. IPVS is the global authority on papillomaviruses and its mission is to contribute to the elimination of papillomavirus-related diseases. HPV is best known as the undisputed cause of cervical cancer in women, driven by long-term infection with one or more high-risk types of the virus family. When properly validated and controlled, molecular (e.g., PCR-based) testing for HPV infection enables cervical cancer screening programs to identify at-risk patients years before the development of invasive cancer. Furthermore, cervical cancer screening programs can increase participation rates by enabling women to “self-collect” samples in the privacy of their homes, rather than remaining reliant on whether every at-risk women has ready access to medical professionals to collect their samples. At IPVC, authors Willem Ford, Marco Ho Ting Keung, and David Hawkes will present their poster titled “Validation of Commercial FLOQSwab® Quality Control for Human papillomavirus detection on six ISO 15189 accredited self-collection methods.” Their aim was to examine the compatibility of Microbix’s PROCEEDx®FLOQ® (HPV 16/18/45) QAP (RUO) to support testing for the three most common high-risk types of HPV and assess its viability as a quality control (“QC”) product. Their work tested use of this Microbix QAP with two commonly-used liquid media and six commercial and clinically-validated HPV assays. The results indicate that this QAP could be used for effective estimation of sensitivity, specificity, and both negative and positive predictive values with different self-collection methods and has a 100% concordance with detection across the two media types and for all six HPV assays. The authors concluded that the PROCEEDxFLOQ (HPV 16/18/45) “has excellent analytical performance and provides a QC product for use by laboratories processing self-collection using methods involving the Copan FLOQSwab''. Microbix thanks Professor David Hawkes, the Australian Centre for the Prevention of Cervical Cancer, the University of Melbourne (Australia), and the University of Malaya (Malaysia) for conducting this work.Recent Insider Transactions • Oct 15President recently sold CA$73k worth of stockOn the 9th of October, Cameron Groome sold around 220k shares on-market at roughly CA$0.33 per share.

At EMMD, Microbix will interact with key opinion leaders, collaborators, and customers that create and utilize the available assays to diagnose, screen, and direct treatment of HSV, many other infectious diseases, and other conditions such as cancers. Microbix will also be attending multiple scientific and clinical care lectures and discussions that are directly pertinent to its ever-growing portfolio of QAPs that help ensure the accuracy of molecular (i.e., "PCR") tests and their workflows. Also at EMMD, Microbix will present its poster titled "FFPE HSV-1 and HSV-2 simulated tissue sections mounted on slides for use as prospective quality controls in IHC and qPCR workflows." The poster reviews the performance of a novel (RUO) QAP to support PCR-based detection of HSV and immunohistochemical analysis of Formalin-Fixed and Paraffin-Embedded ("FFPE") tissue samples. Following presentation of the poster on the afternoon of October 9th, it will be made available at https://microbix.com. In spite of efforts to detect, treat, and prevent the spread of HSV, it is estimated that over half of all people worldwide are chronically infected with a strain of this virus. Emerging research is also establishing that chronic infection with HSV is a risk factor for, and can lead to, severe conditions like esophagitis, hepatitis, pneumonia, encephalitis, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. More widespread diagnosis of HSV and detailed analysis of infected tissues may therefore be a route to prevention of the serious health consequences that can result from HSV infections. Microbix is pleased to support the more widespread use of such testing by helping to ensure its quality and accuracy.분석 기사 • Aug 22Microbix Biosystems' (TSE:MBX) Shareholders Should Assess Earnings With CautionAfter announcing healthy earnings, Microbix Biosystems Inc.'s ( TSE:MBX ) stock rose over the last week.

Presents HCV FLOQSwab Format Test Control at ADLMMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced that it is presenting results of a novel Quality Assessment Product for supporting Point-of-Care-Tests for infection with the Hepatitis C Virus at the American Diagnostic and Laboratory Medicine conference taking place in Chicago, Illinois July 29 to August 1, 2024. At ADLM, Microbix will exhibit alongside leading firms that provide tests to diagnose and direct treatment of HCV and many other infectious diseases. Microbix will thereby showcase its ever-growing portfolio of QAPs that help ensure the accuracy of antigen and molecular tests and their workflows. Also at ADLM, Microbix'll present its poster titled "Novel Hepatitis C Virus External Quality Control that is Stable at Ambient Temperature and Suitable for Use in Low- Resource Settings." The poster reviews the performance of a novel PROCEED®?FLOQ®? (RUO) QAP to support the training for and prospective quality management of POCT PCR tests that use fingerstick whole-blood samples to detect HCV. In spite of efforts to eliminate viral hepatitis, it is estimated that 58 million individuals are infected with HCV. The majority of such persons live where conventional lab-based diagnostics are inaccessible due to high costs, want of equipment or trained personnel, or lack of “cold-chain” refrigeration. HCV POCTs are therefore critical for improving test accessibility, surveillance, and treatment, with such POCTs requiring suitably designed and robust External Quality Controls to monitor the accuracy of testing. The novel Microbix HCV QAP is formatted onto a COPAN® FLOQSwab® to help achieve a consistent and accurate signal, provide room-temperature stability, and be superior to conventional HCV quality controls that must be kept frozen until use. The QAP is also whole-genome to contain all relevant PCR-test targets, works with the relevant sample-elution reagents, and has long-term stability at ambient temperatures (i.e., 2 to 30 ºC). This QAP is intended to facilitate and accelerate the rollout and adoption of POCTs for HCV, particularly for geographically or culturally-isolated persons and in low or middle-income countries.Reported Earnings • May 17Second quarter 2024 earnings released: EPS: CA$0.003 (vs CA$0 in 2Q 2023)Second quarter 2024 results: EPS: CA$0.003 (up from CA$0 in 2Q 2023).

Such further types of HPV-driven cancer include those of the "Head and Neck," collectively tumours inside and behind the nose, throughout the mouth (including the tongue, gums, and palate), all sections of the throat, and the voice box. Diagnosis of such cancers is made from tissue sample analyses that look for the presence of cancerous cells via histology and the presence of viral DNA by PCR.New Risk • Feb 25New minor risk - Insider sellingThere has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: CA$68k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (20% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (CA$68k sold).

Presents Results of STI Test Controls at AACCMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced that it is presenting results of its Quality Assessment Products (“QAPs™”) for supporting the clinical use and accuracy of multiplex tests for four of the most prevalent sexually-transmitted infections (“STIs”) at the American Association of Clinical Chemistry (“AACC”) conference taking place in Anaheim, CaliforniaJuly 23 to 27, 2023. At AACC, Microbix will exhibit alongside leading firms that provide tests to diagnose and direct treatment of STIs and other infectious diseases. Microbix will thereby showcase its ever-growing portfolio of QAPs that help ensure the accuracy of antigen and molecular (i.e., “PCR”) tests and their workflows. Also at AACC, Microbix will present a poster titled “Evaluating the Performance of Emerging STI Point of Care Assays Using Novel, Room Temperature Stable CT/NG/TV/MG Positive Swab Quality Control Materials.” The poster reviews the performance of novel PROCEED®FLOQ® (RUO) QAPs to support the clinical use and accuracy of multiplex PCR tests for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) – four of the most prevalent STIs. Point of Care Tests (“PoCTs”) that can distinguish between STI-causing pathogens promise improved access to care and faster turnaround time from patient-sampling to test-result. However, users of such PoCTs must have accurate and robust test-control materials for quality management purposes. Microbix therefore developed a whole-workflow multiplex STI QAP desiccated on a Copan FLOQSwab® that is stable at 2-30°C and contains inactive whole-genome target pathogens. The poster evaluated its performance with multiple diagnostic platforms in current use and in development, namely the Abbott Alinity™ m STI assay, Aprimeo/Bosch Vivalytic™ STI Assay, BD MAX™ CT/GC/TV assay, Cepheid Xpert® CT/NG and TV assays, Seegene Novaplex™ CT/NG/TV/MG assay, an IVD assay in late-stage development, and a lab-developed assay.분석 기사 • Jul 22Is Microbix Biosystems (TSE:MBX) Using Debt In A Risky Way?The external fund manager backed by Berkshire Hathaway's Charlie Munger, Li Lu, makes no bones about it when he says...공지 • Jun 14Microbix Biosystems Inc.

At ASM Microbe, Microbix will exhibit alongside leading firms that provide tests to diagnose and direct treatment of STIs and other infectious diseases. Microbix will thereby showcase its ever-growing portfolio of QAPs that help ensure the accuracy of antigen and nucleic acid (i.e., "PCR") tests and their workflows. Also at the conference Microbix will present a poster titled "Evaluating the Performance of Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests that Detect Mycoplasma genitalium and Mutations Associated with Macrolide Resistance Using Novel Quality Controls Formatted on Swabs." The poster reviews the performance of novel REDx FLOQ (IVD) and PROCEEDx™?FLOQ (RUO) ®? ®?. QAPs to support the clinical use and accuracy of test for AMR variants of the STI Mycoplasma genitalium ("Mgen"), a common cause of urethritis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and infertility. As is becoming increasingly common with many infections, the emergence of AMR variants of Mgen is leading to a high rate of first-line treatment failure (i.e., 44-90%). If accuracy can be ensured, PCR-based testing can greatly improve treatment outcomes, but quality-control materials to support such tests were largely unavailable. The resulting room-temperature stable QAPs demonstrate that they support testing with varied advanced PCR-assay workflows and elution buffers. Microbix is therefore pleased to be offering flocked-swab formatted QAPs that support clinically-important AMR Mgen testing as cross-platform IVD quality controls, validation, verification, and training panels, and as external quality assessment samples.분석 기사 • May 17Some Shareholders Feeling Restless Over Microbix Biosystems Inc.'s (TSE:MBX) P/S RatioMicrobix Biosystems Inc.'s ( TSE:MBX ) price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 3.6x may not look like an appealing...Reported Earnings • May 12Second quarter 2023 earnings released: EPS: CA$0 (vs CA$0.005 in 2Q 2022)Second quarter 2023 results: EPS: CA$0 (down from CA$0.005 in 2Q 2022).

Launches QAP to Support "Monkeypox" TestingMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced that it is launching a new quality assessment product ("QAPTM") to support molecular diagnostic ("MDx") testing for the Non-Variola Orthopoxvirus ("Mpox"), the cause of the cutaneous infection colloquially-known as "Monkeypox." From traditional low-level incidence in Central and Western Africa, incidence of Mpox surged meaningfully within many countries in 2022, leading to increased testing for this virus. However, transmission of this virus currently requires close or prolonged contact between individuals, limiting its pandemic potential. Microbix chose to create a QAP to support Mpox testing following requests from its customers that provide proficiency-testing and accreditation services to clinical laboratories (i.e., "PT" or "EQA" providers) and to prepare for the inclusion of Mpox in standard worldwide genital ulcer disease diagnostic programs. Although the frequency of testing for Mpox is currently limited, labs must become and remain accredited for such testing by PT/EQA providers. Microbix will be providing Mpox QAPs in liquid or FLOQSwab® formats for that PT/EQA need and as a result, its sales are not expected to be correlated to the rates of Mpox infection or with how much this virus is the subject of news media coverage. In otherwise healthy persons, Mpox infection is usually self-limiting and non-fatal in nature. However, Mpox viral DNA has been detected in human blood, which raises the question of whether blood-borne transmission is a possibility with this emerging pathogen. If blood-borne transmission of Mpox is proven at any future time, the need for routine screening of blood and blood products could arise. In collaboration with its PT/EQA partners, the Microbix Mpox QAP has now been validated for use across 11 leading MDx testing systems and multiple Lab Developed Tests, at 33 clinical laboratories in multiple European and Scandinavian nations. The Mpox QAP validation results may be presented by Microbix or its collaborators at a future scientific conference, in accordance with industry practices and standards. PT/EQA shipments of the Mpox QAP can now commence and Microbix expects material sales of this product starting in its current fiscal year.공지 • Jan 20Microbix Biosystems Inc., Annual General Meeting, Mar 29, 2023Microbix Biosystems Inc., Annual General Meeting, Mar 29, 2023.분석 기사 • Dec 27Time To Worry?

Presenting Test-Workflow Validation Results At EMMDMicrobix Biosystems Inc. will present results of novel methods to support diagnostic accuracy and whole-process workflow validation of cervical cancer screening tests on self-collected patient specimens. The poster presentation will be made at the 12th European Meeting on Molecular Diagnostics (“EMMD”) taking place in Noordwijk, Netherlands from October 12 to 14, 2022. Ample evidence supports use of self-collected vaginal samples to improve participation in cervical cancer screening programs based on molecular (“MDx”) detection of Human Papilloma Virus (“HPV”). However, broad adoption of self-collection has been set-back by a lack of materials and methods to evaluate the whole workflow experienced by a specimen – from collection to final diagnostic result. This critical gap is bridged by the current study using Microbix PROCEEDx™FLOQ® simulated positive HPV samples eluted into Copan MSwab® medium – evaluating whether HPV was effectively eluted from the simulated self-collected swabs and then detected by commercial in vitro diagnostic (“IVD”) PCR-based MDx assays. The study determined that three positive specimens simulating infection with high-risk HPV types (16, 18 & 45) and a negative sample were detected and individually identified on six IVD MDx assays: the Abbott Alinity m HPV & Abbott Realtime HPV, Qiagen NeumoDx HPV, Roche cobas 4800 HPV & Roche cobas 6800 HPV, and Seegene Anyplex II HPV28. Accuracy was 100% across all sample types and assays. The poster will be available on Microbix’s website (https://microbix.com) and from EMMD after its presentation. HPV represents a family of over 100 virus sub-types, of which 14 are deemed “high-risk” as they are proven to directly cause cancers, including but not limited to cervical cancer. Most sexually-active adults become infected with one or more types of HPV and such infections can be persistent. MDx tests permit early detection and guide timely preventative healthcare by identifying those at-risk years before the development of cancers. However, MDx-based screening programs require rigorous workflow design and ongoing validation to ensure their accuracy. Many healthcare systems now plan to resume the roll-out of MDx-based HPV screening programs that were delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, important diagnostic healthcare advancements that Microbix is pleased to support with its products and services. Empowering women to collect vaginal samples in private, safe, and convenient locations is expected to promote patient access to healthcare and accelerate the widespread adoption of MDx-based HPV and cervical cancer screening programs. Microbix is proud to be a strategic partner of Copan and help to accelerate the evolution to self-collection by offering HPV-oriented “PROCEED™FLOQ®” (RUO) and prospective “REDx™FLOQ®” (IVD) quality assessment products (QAPs™) worldwide.

Presenting Test Validation Methods at AACCMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced it is presenting about the utility of its Quality Assessment Products ("QAPsTM") to monitor the end-to-end diagnostic process, including the impact of "preanalytical" sample-handling variables on test accuracy, at the 2022 "Preanalytical Phase Conference" of the American Association of Clinical Chemistry ("AACC") taking place in Alexandria, Virginia from June 3-4, 2022. Microbix is attending this AACC conference to present about these important aspects of infectious disease testing, alongside leaders in the global medical diagnostics industry. Microbix will also be conducting business development activities in relation to its expanding portfolio of QAPs, which includes Health Canada, U.S. FDA, EU "CE mark," or TGA (Australia) in-vitro-diagnostic ("IVD") regulated SKUs and research-use-only ("RUO") designated SKUs across both liquid-vial and Copan FLOQSwab® formats. Its poster presentation is titled "Simulated Swab Specimens for Whole Workflow Quality Control of SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Diagnostic Testing." The poster details methods of using Microbix's REDxTMFLOQ® SARS-CoV-2 Swab Positive Control QAPs to assess the influence on patient-samples of hold-period durations of up to five (5) days, high temperatures of 35-40 °C, or a freeze-thaw cycle, relative to more optimal conditions. The study examined the effects of such conditions on the detectability of Microbix's positive QAPs at full-strength and in 1:100 diluted form relative to strong-positive and weak-positive clinical specimens, using two different viral transport mediums (Microbix's DxTMTM branded viral transport medium and another commercially-available brand) and two different Health Canada approved assays. The results establish that the effects of sample storage and handling conditions can be accurately modeled using QAPs as proxies for clinical patient-samples. These Microbix products and methods can be used to validate processes for new-generation testing practices, such as at-home sample-collection, for a wide range of disease screening and diagnostic purposes, including COVID-19 and high-risk HPV infection, among others. The study was conducted in collaboration with FH Health Laboratory of Toronto, Ontario, whose support in sourcing clinical specimens, testing, and tabulation is gratefully acknowledged.분석 기사 • May 20Microbix Biosystems' (TSE:MBX) Solid Profits Have Weak FundamentalsUnsurprisingly, Microbix Biosystems Inc.'s ( TSE:MBX ) stock price was strong on the back of its healthy earnings...Major Estimate Revision • May 19Consensus EPS estimates fall by 28%The consensus outlook for earnings per share (EPS) in 2022 has deteriorated. 2022 revenue forecast decreased from CA$23.1m to CA$20.9m.

This is the first commercial product to emerge from the development program announced in January 2025, whereby Microbix committed to extend its capabilities into recombinant (i.e., synthetic) antigen production to complement its longstanding expertise in native antigen production. This internally-made recombinant antigen has been developed, manufactured at commercial scale, and fully validated. Accordingly, it is now being used in Microbix's QAPs to support clinical laboratory proficiency testing or external quality assessment programs ("PT" or "EQA"), and is being incorporated into PROCEEDx®? (RUO) and REDx®? (IVD) branded QAPs used to support ongoing quality management of clinical laboratories or other testing sites. Microbix has 40 years of expertise in the technically-challenging manufacturing of native viral antigens, which requires culturing of mammalian host cells, the addition and growth of target viruses in those cells, and, finally, the extraction, purification, and inactivation of high-quality components for infectious-disease tests in commercial quantities.

공지 • Dec 11Microbix Biosystems Inc. Launches New Products to Support H3N2 Flu TestingMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced the commercial launch of QAPs™? quality assessment products and availability of QUANTDx™? reference materials to support antigen or molecular tests for H3N2 strains of seasonal Influenza A (a.k.a., the "Flu"). H3N2, alongside H1N1, is a common type of Influenza A that circulates annually, with H3N2 more prone to "antigenic drift," changing the surface of the virus and its level of recognition by antibodies. These changes can reduce the level of protection natural immunity and vaccine-induced immunity normally provide. Specifically, Microbix's Respiratory QAPs formulated with H3N2 can be used as safe, reliable, and stable molecularetics of patient-samples for training of persons administering tests, validation of new testing sites, and verification of instrument/assay performance. Depending on the nature of their needs, users can select either PROCEEDx®? (RUO) or REDx®? (IVD) variants of these QAPs. Upon request, H3N2 reference materials can also be made available, as part of Microbix's QUANTDx product-line. QUANTDx products are well-characterized, accurately-quantified and fully-traceable reference materials that enable assay developers to establish key analytical performance metrics - such as LoD (limit of detection), Sens sensitivity (positive accuracy), and Specificity (negative accuracy) - knowledge that is essential for validation and regulatory submissions. Microbix also applies its biological expertise and infrastructure to develop other proprietary products and technologies, most notably Kinlytic®? urokinase, a biologic thrombolytic drug used to treat blood clots, and agents to support diagnostic testing (e.g., its DxTM™? for patient-sample collection). Microbix is traded on the TSX and OTCQX, and headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

New Risk • Jun 11New major risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 106% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (106% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (6.9% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (CA$84.5m market cap, or US$61.8m).

공지 • Jan 14Microbix Biosystems Inc. and American Proficiency Institute Announce the Start of Pilot Pt Program to Ensure That Molecular Diagnostic AssaysMicrobix Biosystems Inc. and American Proficiency Institute announced the start of a pilot PT program to ensure that molecular diagnostic assays can detect the emerging H5N1 strain of the Influenza A virus (“H5N1 Flu”). Strains of the Flu are named according to variations in the proteins that help them to infect host cells – the Hemagglutinin protein and the Neuraminidase protein. There is a heightened risk of a pandemic when one or both of the H or N proteins have not been circulating in human populations. H5N1 is such a relatively novel strain of the Flu virus, which has demonstrated the ability to infect birds, cattle, and humans. H5N1 Flu is now circulating on multiple continents and may become a new pandemic, with it having demonstrated a staggering rate of severe pneumonia and death across those infected thus far. It is therefore critical to prove whether established MDx tests can accurately and reliably detect H5N1 Flu. Such MDx Flu tests include both regulator-approved assays and laboratory-developed tests, respectively classed as “IVD” and “LDT”. Clinical labs must objectively prove that every such assay they are using can reliably detect H5N1 Flu requiring novel quality assessment products and new PT programs. Microbix and API have been collaborating to fulfill this critical and urgent need. Using its virology and synthetic biology expertise, Microbix has created a novel QAP that provides the whole genome of H5N1 Flu, but which does not require use of nor contain any infectious materials. In turn, API is initiating a proficiency testing program whereby clinical labs can independently confirm their MDx assays and the established workflows in use will reliably detect H5N1 Flu. This pilot PT program is now live, and API will invite a limited number of labs to participate before such a program is offered to all API clients.

공지 • Jan 08Microbix Biosystems Inc. Announces its Intentions to Broaden its Platform Capabilities to Enable Production of Wide Range of Test Ingredients (Antigens) by Using Recombinant Production TechnologiesMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced its intentions to broaden its platform capabilities to enable production of a wide range of test ingredients (Antigens) by using recombinant production technologies. Directing existing in-house synthetic biology capabilities to this project will create large-scale recombinant Antigens production to complement and expand Microbix’s addressable market share as a key supplier to manufacturers of immunoassays – the class of diagnostic tests that establishes exposure to, or immunity from, pathogens. Microbix has been a leading producer of purified and inactivated Antigens from native (natural) bacterial and viral organisms for more than three decades. It supplies these critical biological ingredients to more than 100 international manufacturers of immunoassays where test accuracy is maximized by using such Antigens. Microbix’s sales of native Antigens totaled CAD 13.8 million in fiscal 2024, an increase of 44% from the prior year and generated from a catalogue of dozens of these complex and valuable biomaterials. However, to date Microbix has not broadly participated in making Antigens using the recombination of genetic materials from different species (i.e., recombinant technologies). Such recombinant Antigens can have price advantages relative to native Antigens and are the choice of immunoassay makers in situations where they can be used without sacrificing assay performance. Microbix offering recombinant Antigens will increase the extent to which it can grow sales of this important segment of its business. Microbix has therefore decided to fund the augmentation of its internal capabilities in synthetic biology in order to build the processes and capacity for production of recombinant Antigens. This will entail adding trained staff, equipment, biological vectors, and cell-lines. With the infrastructure and capabilities already built-out over the past several years, the incremental investment needed to drive the opening of these new market opportunities will be modest, at about CAD 0.5 million per year.

공지 • Nov 12KOL Collaborators Present Microbix HPV Test-Control ResultsMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced that key opinion leader collaborators are presenting results of a Microbix Quality Assessment Product (“QAP”) for controlling testing for high-risk types of Human Papilloma Virus at the 36th annual International Papillomavirus Conference (“IPVC”) taking place in Edinburgh, Scotland, November 12 to 15, 2024. IPVC is the annual conference of the International Papillomavirus Society (“IVPS”), a not-for-profit organization of biomedical scientists investigating human and animal papillomaviruses and their associated diseases. IPVS is the global authority on papillomaviruses and its mission is to contribute to the elimination of papillomavirus-related diseases. HPV is best known as the undisputed cause of cervical cancer in women, driven by long-term infection with one or more high-risk types of the virus family. When properly validated and controlled, molecular (e.g., PCR-based) testing for HPV infection enables cervical cancer screening programs to identify at-risk patients years before the development of invasive cancer. Furthermore, cervical cancer screening programs can increase participation rates by enabling women to “self-collect” samples in the privacy of their homes, rather than remaining reliant on whether every at-risk women has ready access to medical professionals to collect their samples. At IPVC, authors Willem Ford, Marco Ho Ting Keung, and David Hawkes will present their poster titled “Validation of Commercial FLOQSwab® Quality Control for Human papillomavirus detection on six ISO 15189 accredited self-collection methods.” Their aim was to examine the compatibility of Microbix’s PROCEEDx®FLOQ® (HPV 16/18/45) QAP (RUO) to support testing for the three most common high-risk types of HPV and assess its viability as a quality control (“QC”) product. Their work tested use of this Microbix QAP with two commonly-used liquid media and six commercial and clinically-validated HPV assays. The results indicate that this QAP could be used for effective estimation of sensitivity, specificity, and both negative and positive predictive values with different self-collection methods and has a 100% concordance with detection across the two media types and for all six HPV assays. The authors concluded that the PROCEEDxFLOQ (HPV 16/18/45) “has excellent analytical performance and provides a QC product for use by laboratories processing self-collection using methods involving the Copan FLOQSwab''. Microbix thanks Professor David Hawkes, the Australian Centre for the Prevention of Cervical Cancer, the University of Melbourne (Australia), and the University of Malaya (Malaysia) for conducting this work.

공지 • Oct 07Microbix Biosystems Inc. to Present Results of Novel Quality Assessment Product At the European Meeting on Molecular DiagnosticsMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced that it is presenting results of a novel Quality Assessment Product ("QAPTM") for supporting patient diagnosis and tissue analysis relating to infection with the Herpes Simplex Virus ("HSV") at the European Meeting on Molecular Diagnostics ("EMMD") taking place in Noordwijk, The Netherlands, October 9 to 11, 2024. At EMMD, Microbix will interact with key opinion leaders, collaborators, and customers that create and utilize the available assays to diagnose, screen, and direct treatment of HSV, many other infectious diseases, and other conditions such as cancers. Microbix will also be attending multiple scientific and clinical care lectures and discussions that are directly pertinent to its ever-growing portfolio of QAPs that help ensure the accuracy of molecular (i.e., "PCR") tests and their workflows. Also at EMMD, Microbix will present its poster titled "FFPE HSV-1 and HSV-2 simulated tissue sections mounted on slides for use as prospective quality controls in IHC and qPCR workflows." The poster reviews the performance of a novel (RUO) QAP to support PCR-based detection of HSV and immunohistochemical analysis of Formalin-Fixed and Paraffin-Embedded ("FFPE") tissue samples. Following presentation of the poster on the afternoon of October 9th, it will be made available at https://microbix.com. In spite of efforts to detect, treat, and prevent the spread of HSV, it is estimated that over half of all people worldwide are chronically infected with a strain of this virus. Emerging research is also establishing that chronic infection with HSV is a risk factor for, and can lead to, severe conditions like esophagitis, hepatitis, pneumonia, encephalitis, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. More widespread diagnosis of HSV and detailed analysis of infected tissues may therefore be a route to prevention of the serious health consequences that can result from HSV infections. Microbix is pleased to support the more widespread use of such testing by helping to ensure its quality and accuracy.

Presents HCV FLOQSwab Format Test Control at ADLMMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced that it is presenting results of a novel Quality Assessment Product for supporting Point-of-Care-Tests for infection with the Hepatitis C Virus at the American Diagnostic and Laboratory Medicine conference taking place in Chicago, Illinois July 29 to August 1, 2024. At ADLM, Microbix will exhibit alongside leading firms that provide tests to diagnose and direct treatment of HCV and many other infectious diseases. Microbix will thereby showcase its ever-growing portfolio of QAPs that help ensure the accuracy of antigen and molecular tests and their workflows. Also at ADLM, Microbix'll present its poster titled "Novel Hepatitis C Virus External Quality Control that is Stable at Ambient Temperature and Suitable for Use in Low- Resource Settings." The poster reviews the performance of a novel PROCEED®?FLOQ®? (RUO) QAP to support the training for and prospective quality management of POCT PCR tests that use fingerstick whole-blood samples to detect HCV. In spite of efforts to eliminate viral hepatitis, it is estimated that 58 million individuals are infected with HCV. The majority of such persons live where conventional lab-based diagnostics are inaccessible due to high costs, want of equipment or trained personnel, or lack of “cold-chain” refrigeration. HCV POCTs are therefore critical for improving test accessibility, surveillance, and treatment, with such POCTs requiring suitably designed and robust External Quality Controls to monitor the accuracy of testing. The novel Microbix HCV QAP is formatted onto a COPAN® FLOQSwab® to help achieve a consistent and accurate signal, provide room-temperature stability, and be superior to conventional HCV quality controls that must be kept frozen until use. The QAP is also whole-genome to contain all relevant PCR-test targets, works with the relevant sample-elution reagents, and has long-term stability at ambient temperatures (i.e., 2 to 30 ºC). This QAP is intended to facilitate and accelerate the rollout and adoption of POCTs for HCV, particularly for geographically or culturally-isolated persons and in low or middle-income countries.

New Risk • Feb 25New minor risk - Insider sellingThere has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: CA$68k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (20% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (CA$68k sold). Market cap is less than US$100m (CA$54.9m market cap, or US$40.6m).

At AACC, Microbix will exhibit alongside leading firms that provide tests to diagnose and direct treatment of STIs and other infectious diseases. Microbix will thereby showcase its ever-growing portfolio of QAPs that help ensure the accuracy of antigen and molecular (i.e., “PCR”) tests and their workflows. Also at AACC, Microbix will present a poster titled “Evaluating the Performance of Emerging STI Point of Care Assays Using Novel, Room Temperature Stable CT/NG/TV/MG Positive Swab Quality Control Materials.” The poster reviews the performance of novel PROCEED®FLOQ® (RUO) QAPs to support the clinical use and accuracy of multiplex PCR tests for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) – four of the most prevalent STIs. Point of Care Tests (“PoCTs”) that can distinguish between STI-causing pathogens promise improved access to care and faster turnaround time from patient-sampling to test-result. However, users of such PoCTs must have accurate and robust test-control materials for quality management purposes. Microbix therefore developed a whole-workflow multiplex STI QAP desiccated on a Copan FLOQSwab® that is stable at 2-30°C and contains inactive whole-genome target pathogens. The poster evaluated its performance with multiple diagnostic platforms in current use and in development, namely the Abbott Alinity™ m STI assay, Aprimeo/Bosch Vivalytic™ STI Assay, BD MAX™ CT/GC/TV assay, Cepheid Xpert® CT/NG and TV assays, Seegene Novaplex™ CT/NG/TV/MG assay, an IVD assay in late-stage development, and a lab-developed assay.

Presents Results of STI Test Controls at ASM Microbe Microbe FLOQMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced that it is presenting results of its Quality Assessment Products ("QAPs™?") for supporting the clinical use and accuracy of tests for antimicrobial-resistant ("AMR") sexually-transmitted infections ("STIs") at the ASM Microbe conference of the American Society of Microbiology ("ASM"), taking place in Houston, Texas June 15-19, 2023. At ASM Microbe, Microbix will exhibit alongside leading firms that provide tests to diagnose and direct treatment of STIs and other infectious diseases. Microbix will thereby showcase its ever-growing portfolio of QAPs that help ensure the accuracy of antigen and nucleic acid (i.e., "PCR") tests and their workflows. Also at the conference Microbix will present a poster titled "Evaluating the Performance of Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests that Detect Mycoplasma genitalium and Mutations Associated with Macrolide Resistance Using Novel Quality Controls Formatted on Swabs." The poster reviews the performance of novel REDx FLOQ (IVD) and PROCEEDx™?FLOQ (RUO) ®? ®?. QAPs to support the clinical use and accuracy of test for AMR variants of the STI Mycoplasma genitalium ("Mgen"), a common cause of urethritis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and infertility. As is becoming increasingly common with many infections, the emergence of AMR variants of Mgen is leading to a high rate of first-line treatment failure (i.e., 44-90%). If accuracy can be ensured, PCR-based testing can greatly improve treatment outcomes, but quality-control materials to support such tests were largely unavailable. The resulting room-temperature stable QAPs demonstrate that they support testing with varied advanced PCR-assay workflows and elution buffers. Microbix is therefore pleased to be offering flocked-swab formatted QAPs that support clinically-important AMR Mgen testing as cross-platform IVD quality controls, validation, verification, and training panels, and as external quality assessment samples.

공지 • Jan 31Microbix Biosystems Inc. Launches QAP to Support "Monkeypox" TestingMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced that it is launching a new quality assessment product ("QAPTM") to support molecular diagnostic ("MDx") testing for the Non-Variola Orthopoxvirus ("Mpox"), the cause of the cutaneous infection colloquially-known as "Monkeypox." From traditional low-level incidence in Central and Western Africa, incidence of Mpox surged meaningfully within many countries in 2022, leading to increased testing for this virus. However, transmission of this virus currently requires close or prolonged contact between individuals, limiting its pandemic potential. Microbix chose to create a QAP to support Mpox testing following requests from its customers that provide proficiency-testing and accreditation services to clinical laboratories (i.e., "PT" or "EQA" providers) and to prepare for the inclusion of Mpox in standard worldwide genital ulcer disease diagnostic programs. Although the frequency of testing for Mpox is currently limited, labs must become and remain accredited for such testing by PT/EQA providers. Microbix will be providing Mpox QAPs in liquid or FLOQSwab® formats for that PT/EQA need and as a result, its sales are not expected to be correlated to the rates of Mpox infection or with how much this virus is the subject of news media coverage. In otherwise healthy persons, Mpox infection is usually self-limiting and non-fatal in nature. However, Mpox viral DNA has been detected in human blood, which raises the question of whether blood-borne transmission is a possibility with this emerging pathogen. If blood-borne transmission of Mpox is proven at any future time, the need for routine screening of blood and blood products could arise. In collaboration with its PT/EQA partners, the Microbix Mpox QAP has now been validated for use across 11 leading MDx testing systems and multiple Lab Developed Tests, at 33 clinical laboratories in multiple European and Scandinavian nations. The Mpox QAP validation results may be presented by Microbix or its collaborators at a future scientific conference, in accordance with industry practices and standards. PT/EQA shipments of the Mpox QAP can now commence and Microbix expects material sales of this product starting in its current fiscal year.

공지 • Oct 07Microbix Biosystems Inc. Presenting Test-Workflow Validation Results At EMMDMicrobix Biosystems Inc. will present results of novel methods to support diagnostic accuracy and whole-process workflow validation of cervical cancer screening tests on self-collected patient specimens. The poster presentation will be made at the 12th European Meeting on Molecular Diagnostics (“EMMD”) taking place in Noordwijk, Netherlands from October 12 to 14, 2022. Ample evidence supports use of self-collected vaginal samples to improve participation in cervical cancer screening programs based on molecular (“MDx”) detection of Human Papilloma Virus (“HPV”). However, broad adoption of self-collection has been set-back by a lack of materials and methods to evaluate the whole workflow experienced by a specimen – from collection to final diagnostic result. This critical gap is bridged by the current study using Microbix PROCEEDx™FLOQ® simulated positive HPV samples eluted into Copan MSwab® medium – evaluating whether HPV was effectively eluted from the simulated self-collected swabs and then detected by commercial in vitro diagnostic (“IVD”) PCR-based MDx assays. The study determined that three positive specimens simulating infection with high-risk HPV types (16, 18 & 45) and a negative sample were detected and individually identified on six IVD MDx assays: the Abbott Alinity m HPV & Abbott Realtime HPV, Qiagen NeumoDx HPV, Roche cobas 4800 HPV & Roche cobas 6800 HPV, and Seegene Anyplex II HPV28. Accuracy was 100% across all sample types and assays. The poster will be available on Microbix’s website (https://microbix.com) and from EMMD after its presentation. HPV represents a family of over 100 virus sub-types, of which 14 are deemed “high-risk” as they are proven to directly cause cancers, including but not limited to cervical cancer. Most sexually-active adults become infected with one or more types of HPV and such infections can be persistent. MDx tests permit early detection and guide timely preventative healthcare by identifying those at-risk years before the development of cancers. However, MDx-based screening programs require rigorous workflow design and ongoing validation to ensure their accuracy. Many healthcare systems now plan to resume the roll-out of MDx-based HPV screening programs that were delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, important diagnostic healthcare advancements that Microbix is pleased to support with its products and services. Empowering women to collect vaginal samples in private, safe, and convenient locations is expected to promote patient access to healthcare and accelerate the widespread adoption of MDx-based HPV and cervical cancer screening programs. Microbix is proud to be a strategic partner of Copan and help to accelerate the evolution to self-collection by offering HPV-oriented “PROCEED™FLOQ®” (RUO) and prospective “REDx™FLOQ®” (IVD) quality assessment products (QAPs™) worldwide.

공지 • Jun 04Microbix Biosystems Inc. Presenting Test Validation Methods at AACCMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced it is presenting about the utility of its Quality Assessment Products ("QAPsTM") to monitor the end-to-end diagnostic process, including the impact of "preanalytical" sample-handling variables on test accuracy, at the 2022 "Preanalytical Phase Conference" of the American Association of Clinical Chemistry ("AACC") taking place in Alexandria, Virginia from June 3-4, 2022. Microbix is attending this AACC conference to present about these important aspects of infectious disease testing, alongside leaders in the global medical diagnostics industry. Microbix will also be conducting business development activities in relation to its expanding portfolio of QAPs, which includes Health Canada, U.S. FDA, EU "CE mark," or TGA (Australia) in-vitro-diagnostic ("IVD") regulated SKUs and research-use-only ("RUO") designated SKUs across both liquid-vial and Copan FLOQSwab® formats. Its poster presentation is titled "Simulated Swab Specimens for Whole Workflow Quality Control of SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Diagnostic Testing." The poster details methods of using Microbix's REDxTMFLOQ® SARS-CoV-2 Swab Positive Control QAPs to assess the influence on patient-samples of hold-period durations of up to five (5) days, high temperatures of 35-40 °C, or a freeze-thaw cycle, relative to more optimal conditions. The study examined the effects of such conditions on the detectability of Microbix's positive QAPs at full-strength and in 1:100 diluted form relative to strong-positive and weak-positive clinical specimens, using two different viral transport mediums (Microbix's DxTMTM branded viral transport medium and another commercially-available brand) and two different Health Canada approved assays. The results establish that the effects of sample storage and handling conditions can be accurately modeled using QAPs as proxies for clinical patient-samples. These Microbix products and methods can be used to validate processes for new-generation testing practices, such as at-home sample-collection, for a wide range of disease screening and diagnostic purposes, including COVID-19 and high-risk HPV infection, among others. The study was conducted in collaboration with FH Health Laboratory of Toronto, Ontario, whose support in sourcing clinical specimens, testing, and tabulation is gratefully acknowledged.

공지 • Dec 21Microbix Biosystems Inc. Launches Multiplex Respiratory PCR-Test ControlMicrobix Biosystems Inc. announced the expansion of its portfolio of Quality Assessment Products (“QAPs™”) to include single-unit swab-formatted controls that simultaneously support PCR tests for SARS-CoV-2 (“COVID”), Influenza A (“Flu A”), Influenza B (“Flu B”), and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (“RSV”), four of the most-common causes of viral infectious respiratory illness globally. Specifically, Microbix is commercializing In-Vitro Diagnostic (“IVD”) quality controls to support workflow accuracy of “multiplex” clinical laboratory PCR tests that detect COVID, Flu A, Flu B, and RSV from a single patient-sample. These innovative, proprietary, and branded controls provide a fully-compliant, comprehensive, and cost-effective quality management tool to help avoid the systemic errors that can be driven by technicians, consumables, or instruments. Users of this IVD control will include lab accreditation agencies, makers of tests oriented to clinical labs or point-of-care, and clinical labs or medical clinics. This Microbix multiplex QAP is made using Copan® FLOQSwabs® – the optimal format for accuracy and point-of-care use, with room-temperature stability for 12 months. As for all Microbix’s QAPs, this latest IVD control contains all possible PCR targets and is validated on multiple test platforms. This new QAPs SKU is branded REDx™FLOQ® SARS-CoV-2/Flu A&B/RSV Swab Positive Control and is now available to support clinical laboratory quality management systems (“QMS”) covering central lab and point-of care workflows in both the U.S. and Canada. Research-Use-Only (“RUO”) PROCEEDx®FLOQ® versions are now available for other markets, with REDx IVD versions to follow. Microbix’s QAPs portfolio now consists of over 70 proprietary SKUs in the categories of respiratory, sexually-transmitted, and gastrointestinal infectious diseases. Of that portfolio, 16 QAPs are available as REDx™ Controls for IVD use by clinical labs. In addition to QAPs to support PCR-based testing for each of these important respiratory illnesses, Microbix also has IVD QAPs to support antigen-based respiratory pathogen tests (e.g., REDxFLOQ SARS-CoV-2 Ag). Microbix’s QAPs for PCR-test and Antigen-test support are also available as ONBOARDx™ kits that include both positive and negative controls for convenient qualification of new instruments for clinical use and for the training of laboratory staff. This portfolio of COVID-oriented QAPs is in widespread use and can be paired with Microbix’s DxTM™ viral transport medium to enable collection and stabilization of patient test-sample specimens.
