Sector

Bio-industry

INDICIA – a Contract Manufacturing Organisation (CMO) – purchased BIO-STERIL and joined the PROTEX INTERNATIONAL Group in September 2019. This is a new field for the Group which covers: 

  • “Turnkey” solutions for rapid microbiological quality control using flow cytometry, for the food, beverages and cosmetics industries.
  • The production of a wide range of ready-to-use media for industrial microbiological controls.
  • The formulation and aseptic distribution of sterile solutions for the healthcare industry: INDICIA provide customised products, manufactured according to their clients’ own technical specifications.
  • The production, syringing and sterilisation of medical systems for the healthcare and cosmetics industries (BIOSTERIL)

INDICIA and BIO-STERIL’s activities have, by their very nature, no environmental impact. 

The products manufactured are used directly on living organisms for applications in the human or animal health sector, or to grow micro-organisms. The vast majority of our raw materials and finished products are fully non-toxic for both people and the environment.

Innovation

R & D

Our research and development works are conducted in-house on the Lyon and Limoges sites. This consists primarily in:

  • Improving our manufacturing, packaging and aseptic processes for the production of sterile solutions and culture media
  • The development and improvement of rapid flow-cytometric microbiological techniques.

 

These activities are part of a partnership with the University of Limoges and various industrial groups.

INDICIA is part of AFNOR (the French Standardisation Association) as a member of the “Cosmetic Products” Commission, working at the highest levels with industrial groups to define the safety standards for cosmetic products (especially in terms of microbiological analysis) in order to guarantee the health and safety of the users.
