What AmpliBio does
AmpliBio (legal name Ampli Bio, S.A. de C.V.) is a privately held Mexican company founded in October 2002 and headquartered in Mexico City. The company operates as a specialized distributor and integrator of molecular biology products and laboratory solutions for human clinical diagnostics, veterinary testing, agricultural diagnostics, food safety, forensic science, and research customers. Its portfolio combines third-party brand distribution with proprietary service offerings: an authorized distribution relationship with Coyote Bioscience for the FlashDetect point-of-care PCR platform, exclusive distribution of the SENASICA-authorized Bovine TriTB Detection Kit, and authorized reseller status for Qiagen, Euroclone, Inno-train, and Sterifeed equipment and consumables.
Its product and service surface spans three layers: (1) equipment and reagent distribution — Qiagen nucleic acid processing systems (Rotor-Gene Q, QIAcube HT, QIAsymphony SP, QIAxcel), Euroclone biosafety cabinets and laminar flow hoods, Sterifeed human milk pasteurizers (T30/S90/S180) and bank consumables, Inno-train HLA typing reagents (FluoQube, FluoGene qPCR, SuBiTo NGS, Ready Gene SPP), and the Coyote FlashDetect qPCR system; (2) turnkey laboratory services — modular BSL-2 laboratories with unidirectional workflows (Laboratorio Express Modular), mobile PCR laboratories with throughput from 2,000 to 13,000 tubes per day (Laboratorio Móvil FlashDetect), laboratory design consulting, remodeling, and preventive maintenance; and (3) proprietary diagnostic kits such as the TriTB PCR kit delivering bovine tuberculosis results in two hours.
The business model is consultative B2B with quote-based sales (Cotización) executed via website, email, WhatsApp, and phone. Customers are predominantly Mexican government and federal research institutions (Instituto Nacional de Cancerología, Instituto Nacional de Perinatología, Centro Nacional de Referencia Fitosanitaria) plus one Central American government (Laboratorio Forense Panamá), with revenue streams spanning one-time hardware sales, recurring reagent and consumable pull-through, and project-based professional services. The operating geography is single-country (Mexico), with a marginal Central American extension into Panama.
