ceeram celebrates its 10th Anniversary

Founded in 2005, by M. Benoît Lebeau and Ms Fabienne Loisy, ceeram first started its operation harbored within IFREMER Headquarters.

Research & Development in Molecular Biology

From 2005 to 2009, strong efforts were put into R&D to develop methods to easily detect and identify, from Food and Environmental matrices, viruses, parasites and bacteria.

The first standardized kits

This R&D work led to the launch late 2009 of a range of standardized, all-in-one, ready-to-use kits under the brand name ceeramTools®.

They allowed for the detection and identification of Food- and waterborne viruses, such as Norovirus, hepatitis A Virus, Hepatitis E Virus.

ISO 9001 & ISO 13485 Certifications

ceeram gained its first ISO certificates in 2012 enabling the production of In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) CE marked clinical ceeramTools® kits under strict quality level.
