What Xiamen Boson Biotech Co. does

Xiamen Boson Biotech Co., Ltd. is a Chinese in vitro diagnostic (IVD) manufacturer founded in 2001 and headquartered in the Jimei North Industrial Park of Xiamen, operating from a 12,500 square meter facility certified to ISO 13485:2016 and GMP. The company develops and manufactures point-of-care and quantitative immunoassay products across six technology platforms: colloidal gold rapid tests, quantum dot fluorescence immunoassays (R&D begun 2016, commercialized 2019), chemiluminescence immunoassays, molecular diagnostic reagents, supporting instruments, and biological raw materials (antibodies and antigens produced in-house). Its portfolio spans 100+ diagnostic solutions covering infectious diseases (HIV, HBV, HCV, SARS-CoV-2, Dengue, Malaria, Tuberculosis), drugs of abuse, cardiac and cerebral markers, tumor markers, fertility hormones, thyroid function, and inflammation. Notable instruments include the QDS-300A and hand-held QDS-200A fluorescence analyzers, the Boson-3000 chemiluminescence analyzer (up to 200 tests/hour), and the newly launched Drug Colloidal Gold Analyzer with built-in optical interpretation.

The company operates a multi-channel B2B and B2B2C model. Direct sales run through a multilingual corporate website (13 languages) with sales representatives responding to inquiries within 24 hours. Distribution is handled via a network of regional distributors in 80+ countries (U.S., Europe, Africa, Middle East, Southeast Asia), recruited and cultivated at trade exhibitions including MEDICA in Düsseldorf, Medical Philippines, and WHX Kuala Lumpur, with the company having exhibited in 30+ countries. A third motion is OEM/ODM manufacturing for private-label partners in the United States, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, South Korea, and Australia, with ~30-day lead times versus ~2 weeks for standard Boson-brand products. End customers include hospitals, clinics, and clinical laboratories, blood banks and transfusion services, OEM/private-label resellers, and individual consumers purchasing over-the-counter self-tests (HIV, HBV, SARS-CoV-2, pregnancy, DOA) under the "HomeScan" sub-brand.

Boson's product certifications include China NMPA/CFDA, US FDA (including EUA for SARS-CoV-2 antigen), European CE, Health Canada, Brazil ANVISA, and MDSAP (received February 2023). The company holds 17 patents, was among the first in China to receive CFDA approval for Dengue IgG/IgM in 2014, and has been recognized as a National Key "Specialized, Refined, Unique and Innovative" Enterprise, a Fujian Province Science and Technology Small Giant, and a BRICS Demonstration Unit. It remains privately held with no disclosed external institutional investment or parent company.
