Company Overview
BMR has extensive experience and technical expertise in the field of therapeutic antibodies in particular and through these, we have so far developed antibodies for respiratory infections such as influenza viruses.
BMR supplies highly sensitive antibodies to manufacturers of rapid diagnostic test kits, and has already occupied more than 50% market share in this segment to date.
The market for diagnostic kits for respiratory infections is concentrated in industrialized nations in the Northern Hemisphere. A major disruptor in this market is the incidence of tropical infections such as mosquito-borne malaria. Malaria tests, for example, are performed more than eight times as often as influenza tests.
With the addition of malaria and dengue fever antibody diagnostic materials to our product range, BMR has made a significant contribution to this highly specialized yet very important field of health care.
