安大略省密西沙加市和加利福尼亚州欧文市，2023年12月14日（环球通讯社）--生命科学创新者、制造商和出口商Microbix Biosystems Inc.（TSX:MBX，OTCQX:MBXBF，Microbix®）宣布与Seegene USA，Inc.（“Seegene USA”）合作，Seegene USA是美国多重分子分析和自动化解决方案的领先开发商。

labs. Under the parties’ collaboration, Seegene USA will distribute and recommend Microbix’s Quality Assessment Products (“QAPs™”) to monitor the workflow accuracy of Seegene Novaplex™ and Allplex™ assays in use across the United States. Microbix QAPs are available to support PCR-based (molecular) assays formatted on Copan® FLOQSwabs® and room-temperature stable, or in liquid vial format that are refrigerator-temperature stable.

实验室。在双方的合作下，Seegene USA将分发和推荐Microbix的质量评估产品（“QAP™”)监测Seegene Novaplex的工作流程准确性™和Allplex™美国各地正在使用的检测方法。Microbix QAP可用于支持在Copan®FLOQSwabs®上格式化且室温稳定的基于PCR的（分子）测定，或以冰箱温度稳定的液体小瓶形式。

Microbix PROCEEDx® brand QAPs are Research Use Only “RUO” samples, while its REDx® brand QAPs are In-Vitro Diagnostic “IVD” Controls. Regular use of QAPs helps ensure the accuracy of laboratory-conducted assays. With this agreement, Seegene USA will begin offering Microbix’s QAPs products, alongside its current portfolio of high multiplex PCR assays that test for infectious disease pathogens under its Allplex™ and Novaplex™ brands.

Microbix PROCEEDx®品牌QAP是仅用于研究的“RUO”样品，而其REDx®品牌QAP是体外诊断的“IVD”对照。定期使用QAP有助于确保实验室进行的测定的准确性。根据这项协议，Seegene USA将开始提供Microbix的QAPs产品，以及目前在其Allplex下测试传染病病原体的高多重PCR检测组合™和Novaplex™品牌。

These assays, using Seegene proprietary technology, are unique in their ability to produce high-multiplex results from a single channel in a PCR reaction. In combination, US labs receive an efficient, low-cost approach to achieve high-quality syndromic testing for infectious disease pathogens when compared to currently available options.

这些使用Seegene专有技术的检测方法具有独特的能力，可以在PCR反应中从单个通道产生高度多重的结果。综合起来，与目前可用的选择相比，美国实验室采用了一种高效，低成本的方法来实现对传染病病原体的高质量综合征检测。

Philip Casselli, SVP Business Development, commented, “Our longstanding relationship with Seegene Canada laid a strong foundation for this Microbix – Seegene USA relationship. Our collaboration naturally aligns the two companies to help assure opti.

业务发展高级副总裁菲利普·卡塞利（Philip Casselli）评论道：“我们与Seegene Canada的长期关系为这种Microbix-Seegene USA关系奠定了坚实的基础。我们的合作自然使两家公司保持一致，以帮助确保opti。
