Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIOb) is a global leader in life science research and clinical diagnostics products. Their customers include universities, research institutions, hospitals, food safety and environmental quality laboratories around the world.
During the fall of 2022, a dialogue was initiated between Glycorex and Bio-Rad to evaluate Glycosorb® ABO as part of their manufacturing process for polyclonal reagents for rare blood groups. Donor plasma containing the specific antibody is used to produce these reagents. Since donors are typically of blood groups O, A, or B, this means that the plasma also may contain anti-A/B antibodies that can interfere. These antibodies are thus unwanted and need to be adsorbed.
Having now evaluated Glycosorb® ABO for specific adsorption of anti-A/B antibodies, Bio-Rad has observed that their production can be streamlined while eliminating the risk of backorders. Therefore, Bio-Rad has decided to routinely start using Glycosorb® ABO for this purpose.
The estimated order value at present constitutes a minor portion of Glycorex's total revenue, but it serves as a valuable validation for the company's product.
