Microbix Announces Quality Products Distribution Agreement - Seite 2

Phil Casselli, SVP of Sales and Business Development of Microbix commented, “The United States has the potential to become the largest market for our QAPs, so we’ve sought to find the right distribution partner. We’re therefore pleased to have established this relationship with Alpha-Tec. Our COVID-19 and HPV REDx QAPs are now available for the U.S., and Alpha-Tec has the team and relationships needed to make certain Microbix’s QAPs become widely used by healthcare organizations throughout the country.” 

Chris Williams, General Manager of Alpha-Tec, also commented, “The COVID-19 pandemic has made everyone far more aware of the potentially grave consequences of inaccurate testing for infectious diseases. We believe that products which help labs avoid both false-negative and false-positive results are very much needed. We’re therefore very pleased to be able to provide Microbix’s innovative test controls to our clinical laboratory and hospital customers, certainly for COVID-19 but equally for Microbix’s other current or emerging QAPs.”
