As companies developed with biochemical reagents, BSBE, Leadman, Medicalsystem, Maccura, Dirui, and Zybio are still flourishing in the biochemistry field; they are also developing new products and expanding into other areas based on the biochemical diagnosis while maintaining the existing biochemical product lines.

BBI Solutions OEM Limited (BBI), the premier independent manufacturer of immunodiagnostic reagents globally, has announced the successful closing of the acquisition of IBEX Technologies Inc. (IBEX), a leading developer and manufacturer of high-precision enzymes and diagnostic solutions located in Montreal, Quebec. This acquisition strategically enhances BBI’s capabilities to support In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) manufacturers with the growing global demand for IVD haemostasis testing, driven by an ageing population, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, and an increased reliance on point-of-care tests in surgery and trauma settings. By incorporating IBEX’s innovative enzyme technologies into its extensive portfolio of recombinant proteins, BBI is also responding to the notable industry shift towards recombinantly produced reagents for IVD tests, reflecting a growing preference for more standardized and reliable testing methodologies.

There are multiple classification criteria for immunodiagnostic techniques, the most commonly used of which are classified into labeled immunoassays and non-labeled immunoassays according to whether they are labeled or not.

DiaSorin said on Thursday that its second quarter revenues fell around 12 percent year over year on a constant currency basis, as it experienced an expected continued sharp decline in COVID-19 testing, partially offset by improvements in other immunodiagnostics sales.

Fortis Life Sciences on Wednesday said it has acquired diagnostic testing component maker International Point of Care.

In recent years, the market scale of immunodiagnostic reagents in China has been increasing year by year. In 2020, the market size of China's immunodiagnostic reagent industry reached 32.1 billion yuan, an increase of 24.42% year-on-year.

DiaSorin said Tuesday that it has secured CE marking for an immunodiagnostic assay to aid diagnosis of severe conditions including sepsis, septic shock, kidney diseases, and lower respiratory and urinary tract infections, and the firm is launching the assay in Europe.

Merck and Prometheus Biosciences, Inc. announced that the companies have entered into a definitive agreement under which Merck, through a subsidiary, has agreed to acquire Prometheus for $200.00 per share in cash for a total equity value of approximately $10.8 billion.

Microorganisms are a group of tiny, invisible organisms that are mainly divided into fungi, actinomycetes, bacteria, spirochetes, rickettsiae, chlamydiae, mycoplasmas, and viruses. Different diseases correspond to different types of samples, including fluids obtained from patients' sputum, urine, blood, puncture fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, pus, and wound sites.

Chinese immunodiagnostics market has maintained an overall growth rate of approximately 20% over the past five years, and is expected to reach a market size of CNY 52.4 billion in 2022.
