Sysmex Corp. More...
(Kobe, Japan; www.sysmex.com) and bioMerieux (Marcy l'Etoile, France; www.biomerieux.com) have signed an agreement to form a new company called Sysmex bioMerieux, Ltd. The company will promote and commercialize the entire bioMerieux product range in Japan.

bioMerieux has been operating in the Japanese clinical diagnostics and industrial testing market through bioMerieux Japan, Ltd., a fully owned subsidiary. The joint venture (JV) will manage the regulatory filing and marketing activities of bioMerieux product ranges in Japan. The sales and customer service activities will be contracted out from the JV to Sysmex.

Sysmex and bioMerieux have been developing their global partnership since July 2007, when bioMerieux became a global partner to distribute Sysmex's highly standardized and automated UF-1000i urine sediment analyzer to their extensive clinical microbiology customer base.

bioMérieux provides diagnostic products (reagents, instruments, software), which determine the source of disease and contamination to improve patient health and ensure consumer safety. Its products are used for diagnosing infectious diseases and providing high medical value results for cardiovascular emergencies and cancer screening and monitoring. They are also used for detecting microorganisms in agri-food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products.

Sysmex performs clinical laboratory testing of blood, urine, and other specimens, providing instruments and reagents for clinical laboratory testing as well as laboratory information systems. The company, which specialized in hematology, has expanded to offer a comprehensive range of diagnostics products and solutions in the diagnostics field including coagulation, biochemistry, immunochemistry, urinalysis, and other disciplines.

The market volume of microbiology testing in Japan is estimated at approximately US$280 million per year and is regarded as a strategically important market, the second largest in size worldwide.
