A spokesperson from Beijing Strong Biotechnologies, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as BSBE) recently responded to investors' questions about chemiluminescence at the 2022 Annual Investor Exchange.

Q: The competitive landscape of the chemiluminescence market has been relatively well established, how do you see the first-mover advantage of other companies? What is the company's strategic layout for the chemiluminescence field?

A: The two technologies of luminescence and biochemistry cannot replace each other，but should be combined to provide services to clinical departments. Therefore, in recent years, luminescence and biochemical companies cross-supplement production lines. In recent years, the industry's R&D and registration thresholds have been reduced, so it is possible to have a better set of products in a shorter period of time at a relatively low cost. The market landscape is constantly changing dynamically, and it is still not too late to enter the market. Brands whose products can meet customer needs and continue to improve and enrich in the future will be able to occupy a dominant position in the market. Based on biochemical superior technology, BSBE will promote the development of products such as luminescence and hemagglutination to provide customers with richer products and better serve them with leading technology and cost. The way to achieve the layout of BSBE is not only through mergers and acquisitions, but also by considering partnerships. Sinopharm's demand for a richer product line for the company has further inspired the founders to pursue a better future. The company has stockpiled a large number of projects and talents in recent years and expects to keep presenting better performance in the future.

Q: What is the pace of the future launch of chemiluminescent reagents by BSBE? What types of projects are expected to be covered as a priority? 

A: In terms of reagents, the company intends to proceed in three steps, the first step is time-oriented, and is expected to launch about 50 clinical trial-free projects in the second half of 2023, covering most of the tests except infectious diseases. The second step is to launch the second batch of projects in 2024 with mainly Class II licensed products. The third step is to launch Class III licensed products with longer registration time. In terms of instruments, the company will launch its own luminescence system in the second half of this year, using biochemistry as the engine to enter the market. And according to the registration rhythm of each province and city to coordinate arrangements.

Q: What is the technology platform for the instrumentation of the luminescence product line? Is it developed by the company or by external cooperation? What is the approximate speed of the machine? 

A: The company's latest self-developed instruments are based on the alkaline phosphatase technology platform. The company will launch two instruments in 2023, a low-speed machine (maximum speed of 100 samples/hour) and a medium-speed machine (maximum speed of 400 samples/hour). A high-speed model is expected to be launched in 2024.
