Biox Systems Ltd

Biox is a spin-out company from London South Bank University (LSBU), registered in October 2000, with backing from the university (through SBU Enterprises Ltd) and the London Business Innovation Centre (LBIC). Its aim is to exploit innovations from LSBU's Skin Bioengineering Research Centre, (formerly the Photophysics Research Centre) starting with its patented condenser-chamber method for measuring water vapour flux density.

Biox is primarily an R&D company whose main mission is to develop novel instruments for skin bioengineering. Much of the manufacturing is sub-contracted, but design and quality control and are performed in-house.

Biox is now active in developing a network of distributors for its products, where local knowledge and face-to-face contacts are vital. In North America, for example, we have been working successfully with George Kramer of STE Inc (see Contact section of this website). In the Far East, we are now working with Hyung Chul Lee of InTech, South Korea. But for the most part, Biox handles sales and support-related activities from its base in London. This is practical, since contact via e-mail, in Chinese, English, French, German Romanian or Russian is quick. Our products are small and rugged enough to be shipped anywhere with speed and economy. Through direct contact with our users, we can ensure that they get the best advice and service from us. In return, we enjoy the direct contact with our users and view their feedback as essential for the further development of the company and its products.
