What Simbios does
Simbios Biotecnologia is a privately held Brazilian molecular diagnostics company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Cachoeirinha, Rio Grande do Sul. The company specializes in laboratory analysis of DNA and RNA from infectious agents affecting agricultural animals, using PCR, RT-PCR, Real-Time PCR (qPCR), RFLP typing, and DNA sequencing. Its core customers are B2B clients in the Brazilian poultry, swine, aquaculture, and pet health sectors, including commercial farms, integrators, breeding operations, biological product manufacturers, and other diagnostic laboratories.
The company's product and service portfolio spans laboratory diagnostic services and the NewGene line of molecular diagnostic reagent kits, including DNA/RNA extraction kits (NewGene PREP, PREAmp), amplification mastermixes, and pathogen-specific kits for IBDV, Avian Leukosis, Lawsonia intracellularis, PCV2, Salmonella, Mycoplasma, and others. A proprietary RFLP-based IBDV classification system resolves 16 distinct molecular groups, providing finer strain differentiation than standard methods and supported by 25+ years of accumulated epidemiological data. Additional offerings include DNA sequencing services for molecular epidemiology, interlaboratory proficiency testing programs, and vaccine quality control testing.
Simbios generates revenue through unit-priced laboratory services billed per test/sample, one-time sale of NewGene reagent kits to in-house customer laboratories, and recurring interlaboratory proficiency testing rounds. The company sells direct to enterprise clients, supported by a sales-led motion, dedicated phone/WhatsApp technical support, scientific publications, industry events (e.g., Facta Symposium), and the Simbiosphere technical knowledge portal. It is ISO 9001:2015 certified and authorized by MAPA and Siscomex for export of molecular diagnostic products and for testing international samples.
