OEM in 2023
A challenging year, but we made progress
Despite a very challenging year, we made good progress in many different areas of the business.
Our key strategic initiative to become a reference partner in the development and supply of innovative biomaterials is trending positively. In 2023, we added 15 new biomaterials to our product portfolio.
This expansion also facilitates new assay development projects. Stemming from the completion of the development of four biomaterials, we partnered with a top five IVD company to develop two new immunoassays.
In terms of new product commercialization by our partners, we launched one new chemiluminescent assay to the Chinese market, we received 510(k) approvals for another two chemiluminescent assays, and we submitted one Class I product to the Chinese Authorities (NMPA).
