Business Overview of IBEX
IBEX Technologies Inc. is a publicly traded company listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange (IBT.V).
The Company operates principally through IBEX Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Enzymes
IBEX has developed a proprietary expression for the production of our enzymes in Flavobacterium heparinum. This expression system allows for producing each glycosaminoglycan (GAG) enzyme separately from other enzymes therefore achieving the highest purity using a well-defined proprietary purification scheme.
This minimizes the cross contamination of other glycosaminoglycan enzymes which can occur when enzymes are produced from the native strain of Flavobacterium heparinum (Pedobacter heparinus).
Collagen Assays
COLLAGEN ASSAYS & PROBES
IBEX supplies a number of important tools for collagen research including:
A series of ELISA’s for the measurement of collagen synthesis and degradation.
A series of novel probes (collagen hybridizing peptides) for detecting total and unbound collagen for the development targeted diagnostics and therapies.
Lyophilized Medical Device Components
In addition to manufacturing enzymes, IBEX also fills and lyophilizes medical device components for major international diagnostic companies.
These device components are in combination with sophisticated instruments such as the TEG® 5000 Thrombelastograph® Hemostasis Analyzer system which provides comprehensive whole blood hemostasis testing that can help assess bleeding and thrombotic risks, and also monitor antithrombotic therapies.
IBEX Pharmaceutical’s primary business is the manufacture and selling of high purity enzymes for in-vitro diagnostics and research. The Company also makes and sell osteoarthritis kits (ELISA’s) for pre-clinical research.
