The stock surged +100.0% in the session following this news. A strong upside move would tie to Virax securing exclusive ImmuneSelect distribution across 6 Southeast Asian markets. Historically, certification news once coincided with a 35.32% jump, but an unused resale shelf and past volatility could still temper follow-through.

Key Terms

research-use-only, ruo, elispot, oem
4 terms
research-use-only technical
"ImmuneSelect is Virax's commercially available research-use-only ("RUO") immune profiling"
Products labeled “research-use-only” are tools, tests, or reagents sold for laboratory experiments and scientific study, not approved for diagnosing, treating, or making clinical decisions about patients. For investors, the label matters because it limits where and how a product can be sold, keeps regulatory burdens lower but also narrows market size and revenue potential until the product is validated and approved for clinical or commercial use — like a prototype that can’t yet be sold in stores.
ruo technical
"commercially available research-use-only ("RUO") immune profiling product line"
RUO (Research Use Only) is a label for laboratory tests, instruments, or reagents that are intended solely for scientific research and not for diagnosing or treating patients. For investors, RUO status matters because it limits where and how a product can be sold—think of it like a prototype car that can be driven on a test track but not licensed for public roads, which narrows revenue opportunities and avoids certain regulatory approvals.
elispot medical
"including ELISpot assay plates used to measure cellular immune responses"
ELISpot is a laboratory test that counts individual immune cells that produce a specific signaling molecule—like counting how many workers in a factory are actively making a product. It matters to investors because it provides direct, early evidence about whether a vaccine or immune therapy is triggering the intended response, helping predict clinical trial progress, regulatory likelihood, and the commercial potential of treatments.
oem technical
"higher-volume supply arrangements, and potential OEM or private-label arrangements"
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, which is a company that produces parts or components used in the final products made by other companies. For investors, understanding OEMs is important because their performance can impact the supply chain and overall success of major industries, especially those relying on specialized parts. Think of OEMs as the suppliers that provide the building blocks for larger products, like the engine parts for a car.

ImmuneSelect is Virax's commercially available research-use-only ("RUO") immune profiling product line and is distinct from ViraxImmune™, the Company's in-development diagnostic platform currently progressing through clinical and regulatory development.

Virax believes the agreement represents a significant commercial milestone for its ImmuneSelect platform, providing access to multiple Southeast Asian markets through a leading regional diagnostics organization. The framework is designed to support phased commercial expansion, including additional product offerings, higher-volume supply arrangements, and potential OEM or private-label arrangements.

Fosun Diagnostics is the core entity of the diagnostics business under Fosun Medtech, a division of Fosun Pharma. Fosun Pharma (stock code: 600196.SH; 02196.HK) is an innovation-driven global pharmaceutical and healthcare group with operations spanning pharmaceuticals, medical technologies, diagnostics and healthcare services. Fosun Pharma reported 2025 revenue of RMB41.662 billion, approximately US$5.8 billion. Virax believes Fosun Diagnostics provides a commercially established partner for evaluating and expanding the reach of ImmuneSelect across the ASEAN region.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Commercial supply agreement with Fosun Diagnostics covering six Southeast Asian markets, with exclusivity subject to agreed minimum purchase and performance requirements.
  • Supports near-term potential revenue opportunities through purchase-order-driven supply of Virax's commercially available ImmuneSelect product line.

  • Framework supports expansion into additional products, higher-volume supply arrangements and potential OEM/private-label opportunities.
  • Near-term commercial opportunity separate from ViraxImmune™, the Company's in-development diagnostic platform.

Virax will supply ImmuneSelect immune profiling products, including ELISpot assay plates used to measure cellular immune responses, to Fosun Diagnostics under purchase orders, enabling immediate commercial execution. Pricing includes structured volume-based tiers reflecting scalable commercial economics across the ASEAN region. The initial focus is tuberculosis-related research applications in Thailand, where Fosun has identified near-term customer demand and is progressing initial evaluation activity through Fosun Pharma's regional network, with rollout potential across Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia.

"This agreement represents a major step forward in the commercial rollout of our ImmuneSelect platform across Southeast Asia," said James Foster, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Virax Biolabs. "It establishes a structured multi-country framework with one of Asia's leading diagnostics groups, enabling immediate commercial activity and a clear pathway for scalable regional expansion."

"We are pleased to collaborate with Virax Biolabs as we evaluate ELISpot-based research applications across Southeast Asia," said Leon Zhang, International Commercial Head for China Domestic Business, Fosun MedTech.
