Synbiotics Launches Ecommerce Online Ordering Site, www.BuyWitness.com

In order to provide a quick and convenient ordering format for its customers, Synbiotics developed www.BuyWitness.com.  Through this website, users can easily log in, create an account and utilize their credit card to purchase any WITNESS® product.  The site allows customers to order around their own schedule throughout the day or night.  The site currently provides shipments to locations within the United States only.

All of the Synbiotics’ WITNESS® products are made using Rapid Immuno Migration RIMTM technology.  Using this format, samples which are positive for the antigen of interest will cause formation of a test line in addition to the control line which always appears in valid tests.  In addition to accuracy, key benefits of the test are room temperature storage, ease of use, only seconds of hands-on time, and results within minutes.  All materials for the assay itself are included in the kit making it an ideal in-clinic test.  As with other diagnostic kits, blood collection and processing equipment are required but not provided.

Synbiotics launched www.BuyWitness.com on January 15, 2010, and is currently featuring a promotion on the site.  Currently, the low cost, regular prices for WITNESS® kits are discounted 50% when purchased via the site through January 31, 2010.  The convenience of the ordering process coupled with the significant savings offered through www.BuyWitness.com attest to Synbiotics’ customer-centric mission.

For additional information, go to www.BuyWitness.com or contact Synbiotics at 1-800-228-4305 or customerservice1@synbiotics.com.  Customers are also encouraged to learn more about Synbiotics’ global resource of diagnostic products and canine reproduction services at www.synbiotics.com.

Synbiotics Highlighted in Governor Nixon’s State of the State Address

Animal Health Corridor News Alert, January 21, 2010

In last evening's Missouri State of the State address, Governor Nixon highlighted proposed legislation that would create an important new incentive for bioscience company growth in the state of Missouri.
The Missouri Science and Innovation Reinvestment Act (MOSIRA) is a program that would operate much like the Kansas Bioscience Authority. By reinvesting a portion of tax dollars from existing Missouri biosciences companies, MOSIRA would offer a pool of support for new biosciences and animal health companies.

The Governor held up a regional KC success from a few years ago as the perfect example of the kind of company MOSIRA would attract. Synbiotics Corporation is a global animal health diagnostics company that relocated to KC from San Diego in 2007. Governor Nixon said,

We want our bio-tech companies to grow because that creates more jobs. But just as important are the corollaries of that growth: a culture of excellence and collaboration, a forum where brilliant minds find kindred spirits, a hotbed of ideas that spark innovation, and a nexus of risk and reward, where start-ups thrive.

Synbiotics is a perfect example of how this synergy works to Missouri's advantage.

We salute Synbiotics for their ongoing commitment to the KC region and the KC Animal Health Corridor. We thank everyone at the state level who is moving the MOSIRA program toward reality, and we look forward to sharing more news with you on this important development for our region, and for biosciences growth in Missouri.
