Company Description
Microbix Biosystems, Inc. specializes in developing proprietary biological technologies which have led to the development
of a pipeline of products and services in three areas; biotherapeutics, vaccines and non-therapeutic biologics. Each product
area utilizes the company's core technology platform based on cell biology, purification and characterization of viruses and
proteins. We manufacture products for our biopharmaceutical pipeline as well as products for clients in our newly renovated
cGMP facility. Our Virology product line supports medical device manufacturers and vaccine developers worldwide. The Microbix
Virology products and contract development services have a long established history while continually evolving to meet current
technology and regulatory requirements.
