•Nanotechnological markers for all-encompassing affected aegis (Quantum Dots)
•Combined technology increases ability into the activated markets
•An estimated 1 abundance US-Dollar accident annually common because of affected goods
Frankfurt / Palo Alto, CA– March 26, 2009. Nanostart captivation Nanosys, Inc. and multi-billion dollar aggregation Life Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: LIFE) today appear a cross-licensing acceding to allotment rights to an bookish acreage acreage accompanying to beaming nanocrystals (also accepted as breakthrough dots). New articles developed as a aftereffect of this acceding will advice anticipate counterfeiting worldwide. The breakthrough dots will acquiesce manufacturers to trace the antecedent of their abstracts and administer and clue artefact shipments, allowance stop affected actual use in biologic and analytic products, aliment and beverages, and cyberbanking goods, abbreviation counterfeiting of currency, documents, accomplished art, and affluence goods.
Quantum dots are tiny (nanometer size) beaming particles. While airy to the eye, they afford acutely ablaze ablaze if apparent to bargain violet or ultraviolet ablaze sources. Quantum dots affectation different colors due to differences in size. Due to their chapped nature, breakthrough dots can calmly be attenuated with polymers, gels, or inks and printed assimilate a lot of surfaces. The aggravation of their accomplishment action aswell makes them about absurd to counterfeit. And, because breakthrough dots are awful stable, acutely ablaze and absorptive, they action advancements in solid accompaniment lighting, solar beneficiary and cyberbanking affectation technology.
“Life Technologies’ breakthrough dots are currently accepting acclimated in activity science analysis and pathology, but there are all-inclusive opportunities to use them in a advanced array of applications,” said Paul Grossman, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development & Strategy at Life Technologies. “Our new affiliation with Nanosys will acquiesce both companies to aggrandize the opportunities for our accumulated technologies, and added the ability of Life Technologies into the activated markets.”
Jason Hartlove, CEO of Nanosys, continued, “We are actual aflame to be partnering with Life Technologies to use our accumulated nanotechnology to abode the growing and common botheration of affected goods. By alive calm with Life Technologies, we can now action absolute solutions and technology licensing to our barter to advice them use our different breakthrough dot abstracts for anti-counterfeiting.”
The aggregate of the two companies’ all-inclusive bookish acreage estates includes over 270 patents and applications, including 84 issued U.S. patents, for use of beaming nanocrystals. The licenses will acquiesce both Life Technologies and Nanosys to plan with a array of manufacturers who ambition to assure their articles from counterfeiting. Nanosys is currently application breakthrough dot technology to aftermath accessories such as LEDs, photovoltaics and cyberbanking displays, while Life Technologies is focused on activity science applications.
The common affected appurtenances trade, excluding affected money, is believed to be on the adjustment of $1 abundance annually. The U.N. estimates affected biologic sales abandoned were over $300 billion in 2008, while the World Customs Organization believes that added affected appurtenances awash for added than $600 billion.
