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).

The IBEX assays can be used for semi-quantitative tissue analysis.

Their use as biomarkers of in vivo metabolism includes assays of  body fluids such as synovial fluid (SF), serum, plasma, urine and bronchiolar lavage.

They are useful tools in the study of collagen degradation and synthesis.

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.
