Eurobio Scientific

It actually exercises its activities on all levels from the research to the sale of diagnostic tests in transplants, immunology, infectious diseases, and also sells reagents for research laboratories including pharmaceutical and bio-technology companies. The group in fact operates its own distribution network and owns a portfolio of molecular biology products.

The major partners of Novacyt

Although Novacyt faces significant competition, this company can also count upon certain allies. In fact, the Novacyt Group regularly implements strategic partnerships such as the following examples:

Immunexpress

Firstly in 2019 the Novacyt Group became associated, through its subsidiary Primedesign which is specialised in molecular testing, with the company Immunexpress Inc. This company is American and it is specialised in the testing of molecular diagnostics. It has obtained an initial authorisation from the FDA for a host response test for patients with suspected septicaemia. This partnership extension had the primary objective of completing the development of a rapid diagnostics test for septicaemia.

Atothis

In 2020, and again through its subsidiary Primedesign, Nocacyt signed a strategic partnership in the form of an exclusive commercial agreement with the Atothis Company which belongs to the VGS Group. This contract related to the exclusive distribution of certain molecular diagnostic products in France for the market sectors experiencing growth in the aquaculture and aquarium industries. It should be remembered that France is actually the second largest aquaculture producer in the European Union and the production of seafood alone contributes 155,000 tons per year to the French economy which represents around 550 million Euros.

Astrazeneca

Still in 2020, the Novacyt Group announced another major partnership. This partnership came about following an announcement by the British government relating to a new 5 pillar plan aimed at increasing the Covid-19 screening rate. The collaboration of the Novacyt Group was with the Astrazeneca and GSK Laboratories, as well as the University of Cambridge, with the objective of taking the necessary measures to support this national effort. For this agreement a new testing laboratory was to be set up by the above three entities in the Anne McLaren laboratory of the University. This facility was then used with the objective of completing high output testing of the Covid-19 virus and to study the use of different chemical reactions for the manufacture of testing kits to solve the supply shortages problem that existed at that time.
