Colexa Biosensor Ltd. was established following the transfer of technology for the localization and backward integration of Blood Glucose Meters (BGM) and Strips. The 1st of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa born from the legacy of Codix Pharma Limited, a leading importer of Blood Glucose Monitoring Devices and Rapid Diagnostic Test Kits in Nigeria, having supplied over 75 million kits since 2010.
After successful careers at blue-chip multinational pharmaceutical companies and leading key initiatives to unlock the Nigerian pharmaceutical industry’s potential, Mr. Samson Ogunjimi and Pharm. Lekan Asuni joined forces. Inspired to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing, they co-founded Colexa Biosensor Ltd, aiming to redefine the medical diagnostic device market across Africa through pioneer manufacturing of Blood Glucose Meters and Blood Glucose Strips in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Leveraging cutting-edge GDH-FAD technology and top-tier innovations, we set the standard for BGM devices. Our product portfolio includes:
- Blood Glucose Monitoring Strips: Essential for tracking blood glucose levels, these strips empower diabetic patients to effectively monitor and manage their condition.
- Blood Glucose Monitoring Meters: Paired with our strips, these devices provide precise blood glucose readings, ensuring accurate and reliable monitoring.
Colexa stands at the forefront, equipped with an installed capacity of 3.6 million packs of strips annually, operating round the clock to meet the ever-growing demand for diagnostic testing. But that’s just the beginning. With the flexibility to scale operations, Colexa envisions significantly expanding its capacity per year, poised to primarily address Nigeria’s testing needs and subsequently the needs of the continent with unparalleled efficiency and precision.
