Mitigating supply chain complications
A broad offering from a reliable supplier streamlines the ordering process and prevents risks of supply chain disruptions,3 such as an entire production process coming to a standstill because one element needed to produce an assay is unavailable.4 By offering a broad variety of materials, we serve as a dependable one-stop supplier for all our IVD customers.4
Coupled with this, our position ‘in the middle’ of the supply chain allows us to coordinate information from our suppliers and customers and proactively devise solutions before potential issues cause disruption.4
IVD raw materials from Medix Biochemica
Our offering is both broad and deep. It includes a range of product types – such as antibodies, antigens, biospecimens, base matrices, clinical enzymes and molecular diagnostic reagents – and covers several analytes and clinical areas within each of those product types. We even recently added immunoassay blockers and stabilizers to our offerings when we acquired CANDOR Bioscience.3

Our product portfolio
Here’s a brief look at what our comprehensive product offering includes:
Antibodies
A diverse range of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies for use in the detection of biomarkers, pathogens and small molecules across many clinical diagnostic areas.2,5
Antigens
Our range includes native and recombinant antigens for use in assay development, quality control and clinical research.2
Biospecimens
We use advanced collection, preservation and storage techniques to provide our high-quality biological samples and specimens which play a vital role in medical research.2,6
Bulk biologicals
All our premium biological fluids, tissues and swabs are ethically sourced and available in single samples or bulk volumes. Standard and customized options are available.2,7
Enzymes
A range of dependable clinical enzymes for use in ELISA assays, controls, calibration and quality control.2,8
Immunoassay kits
High-performance ELISA, ELIspot and Fluorospot assays for research purposes. Our range puts a particular focus on cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and their associated receptors.2,9
Lipoproteins
Our reliable HDL, LDL and triglycerides are essential for quality control, calibration and other diverse applications.2
Molecular diagnostic reagents
Our MedixMDx molecular diagnostic reagent portfolio includes a wide range of high-quality reagents and master mixes designed to shorten development timelines and work with a variety of assay technologies.2,10
Processed plasma
Plasma and serum products for use as quality-control materials and base matrices. Our in-house expertise supports custom processing to ensure the production of reliable base matrix materials.2,11
Proteins
Serum proteins like albumins and gamma globulins are integral in clinical and immunochemistry. We offer high-quality native and recombinant antigens, enzymes and other proteins to be used in life science research and diagnostics applications, from calibrator and control products to serological immunoassays and biological activity assays.2,12
Small molecules
We offer a selection of small molecules – including vitamins, small hormones and drug molecules – conjugated to carrier proteins or enzymes, for use in IVD diagnostics and research assays.2
Blockers
Modern sample diluents can reduce interferences in immunoassays caused by HAMA, rheumatoid factors, nonspecific binding, cross-reactivities, and matrix effects. By minimizing these interferences, you can prevent false positive or false negative results, thereby improving the reliability of your results.13 We now offer immunoassay solutions following our acquisition of CANDOR Bioscience.3

Stabilizers
For reliable results in immunoassays, it is essential to stabilize standards for calibration curves, coated plates, and antibodies during storage. Stabilizers preserve the native conformation of proteins and protect them from losing their functionality.14 We now offer immunoassay solutions following our acquisition of CANDOR Bioscience.3
