Mar. 21--ZeptoMetrix Corp. will produce flu viruses -- including strains of avian influenza or "bird flu" -- under a multimillion-dollar U.S. contract, the Buffalo company is announcing today.
The viruses are used by makers of diagnostics to develop tests for dangerous strains.
The selection of ZeptoMetrix gives the 30-person company a role in the U.S. effort to prevent a deadly flu outbreak, company officials said.
"What we're doing here could help save millions and millions of lives," marketing director Mark Rowland said.
The contract, for an undisclosed sum, comes from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Health and Human Services.
ZeptoMetrix, formerly called Cellular Products, has previously supplied HIV and other infectious agents under CDC contracts.
