Company Profile
Oxford Biosystems maintains an exciting product portfolio including a range of specialised products that aid in infection prevention and control. We are based in Oxford, UK and act as a distributor in UK and Republic of Ireland for a variety of international manufacturers of laboratory kits and reagents, and small instruments designed for use in infection control. Our product range includes screening tests for systemic inflammatory markers such as C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and Procalcitonin (PCT).
For environmental testing, the Hygiena EnSure Touch system for the verification and monitoring of cleaning processes across multiple locations, provides test results within minutes.
Approach to Healthcare
Oxford Biosystems acts as a UK distributor for manufacturers based in other countries, enabling them to offer their innovative products to the UK market. We aim to provide products that meet a diverse range of requirements across the healthcare market and utilise innovative technology for rapid and reliable results.
Impact of Products/Services on Healthcare:
Our products are easy to use, enabling them to be used in small healthcare facilities or by primary healthcare workers close to the patient. ESR levels and CRP concentration are non-specific markers of systemic inflammation and infection and are ideal for screening purposes to give results within minutes.
Innovation
As a distributor of products from a variety of global manufacturers we are continually looking for reliable, innovative products to present to the UK market. We are currently in discussion with a new company who will be bringing to market an innovative test for the early detection of sepsis.
Future Direction
We work with both established manufacturers and start-up companies who are developing new assays for early diagnosis of infection and antibiotic resistance. We will continue to work with both NHS and private facilities to meet market requirements.
