Licensing of High Performance Capillary Electrophoresis Technology

deltaDOT are pleased to announce that they have licensed their High Performance Capillary Electrophoresis technology to a leading Chinese company.

On 29th December 2017, deltaDOT entered into a collaboration agreement with a Chinese partner to purchase all technical know-how, software and IP licenses for their High Performance Capillary Electrophoresis (HPCE) technology. This partner plans to provide locally manufactured HPCE instruments in China and offer domestic scientists, researchers and QC personnel a wider range of analytical choice. The deal involves an initial payment (now received) and two further milestone-related payments in the next 12 months.

deltaDOT’s partner has focused on the provision of food and drug testing to clients in the agriculture, chemical engineering and environmental protection sectors. While it has developed a great deal of expertise in chemical testing and reagents, this deal will further enhance its expertise in areas such as life science, medical diagnostics and biopharmaceutical analytics.

In the UK, Europe and the US, deltaDOT have worked to provide an alternative to traditional Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) technology by developing and commercialising a highly innovative bioscience instrument, the HPCE-512. This instrument solves the issues that limit traditional CE technology so allowing the full potential of this analytical technique to be realized. The HPCE-512 has many advantages compared to conventional CE, Mass Spectrometry and HPLC approaches owing to its patented multipoint detection technology, together with the proprietary signal processing algorithms. This innovative label free approach produces data with superior resolution, accuracy and repeatability compared to competing techniques, and at significantly reduced cost.

deltaDOT’s technology has found successful applications in detection, separation and analysis of proteins, antibodies, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, viruses and bacteria, drugs, chemicals and a wide range of other analytes.
Nigel Stokes, deltaDOT’s Managing Director, commented: “This agreement is a strong validation of deltaDOT’s label free technology. In the competitive analytical instrumentation sector it is very encouraging to see the adoption of our technology into the vibrant and rapidly developing Chinese market. We are very pleased to see an objective and international validation of our label free technology.”

deltaDOT are launching a new series of articles dD Techniques on the  capabilities of their High Performance Label Free Imaging Capillary Electrophoresis technology.

8 September 2017  The articles offer accessible information and an insight into this unique technology which is used  worldwide to solve challenging analytical problems. A new perspective on the tools required for  the development and manufacture of monoclonal antibodies, biosimilars, stratified therapies,  viral vaccines and gene therapy vectors highlights the need for new analytical techniques.  These new perspectives are the aims which dD Techniques articles intend to deliver to a wide audience (…links to article1article2article3)

PRESS RELEASE

24th January 2017

deltaDOT software enables users to comply with the FDA’s data requirements London, UK, 24th January 2017 – deltaDOT Ltd announced that: By working with external consultants, deltaDOT now offers an upgraded version of its control and analysis software which has been designed to aid users in achieving compliance with CFR 21 part 11 from the USA’s Food and Drug Administration.

This package contains technical controls to help meet requirements including checks to ensure that only authorised users can access the system, maintaining audit trails of user actions, generating complete and protected data files and the application of electronic signatures to data. Nigel Stokes, deltaDOT’s Managing Director commented that “We worked with a firm of external consultants (Optra Systems) for over 6 months on software validation relating to the above CFR standard. The aim of the exercise was to ensure that our software provided the tools which our clients need to comply with the regulations, to check that all data produced by the system could be validated, and to put a Quality Management System in place to control any future changes to the software. We are very pleased that this work was completed on time and within budget.” Dr Stuart Hassard, deltaDOT’s Chief Scientific Officer added that “With these new software tools we are enabling the use of our technology throughout the bioprocess, and are allowing our clients to make higher quality products using our cost effective process analytical technology. Recent advances in monoclonal, biosimilar and gene therapy viral vector characterisation have greatly increased the range of valuable applications which our instruments can address.” About deltaDOT Ltd deltaDOT has developed and commercialised highly innovative Life Science instrumentation. The analytical technology is based on an innovative approach to Capillary Electrophoresis. deltaDOT’s patented multipoint sensor system together with the proprietary computing algorithms gives superior resolution, accuracy and repeatability compared to similar laboratory instruments. Successful applications of the technology have been found in detection, separation and analysis of proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, viruses and bacteria, drugs, chemicals and a wide range of other analytes. deltaDOT now sells the HPCE-512 instrument (pictured below) which is the value engineered version of the company’s previous product. The HPCE-512 has many improved features such as optional carousel cooling for the samples; the accurate temperature control of samples awaiting analysis is a requirement for high end characterisation work done for example by pharmaceutical clients.

20 Sep 2016 (QCNW) Liverpool labs presented the data on monoclonal antibody stability trials based on deltaDOT’s Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) technology and expertise. They state that CE technology is suitable for monitoring the stability of monoclonal antibodies and can perform purity and charge analysis with high resolution and repeatability. They conclude that CE can replace other techniques commonly used for this analysis IEC and SDS PAGE (link to the poster).
