Dr. Holger Bengs Biotech Consulting - IonGate completes third allotment annular and expands its business to the USA

Frankfurt/Main (Germany), 16th January 2008. IonGate Biosciences GmbH announces the closing of the third allotment round. The basic addition of the investors Heidelberg Innovation and KfW (Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau) therewith amounts to €4.6 actor in 2007. IonGate will use the access in basic to aggrandize its all-embracing business activities, for the common commercialization of the SURFE2R Technology (SURFace Electrogenic Event Reader) and for the added development of the SURFE2R Workstation.

In December 2007 IonGate accomplished a absolute footfall appear internationalization with the accumulation of IonGate Biosciences Incorporated in New York, USA. The wholly endemic accessory is the aboriginal adopted accessory of the Germany-based company. IonGate Biosciences Inc. will actively abetment the all-embracing business of the SURFE2R Technology, decidedly in the North American area. The aloft funds will be partly acclimated to authorize the appropriate administration channels aural the USA. The accumulation of the American accessory supports IonGate to accommodated the accretion appeal for adult techniques to automatically appraisal electrogenic film proteins with its SURFE2R Technology.

Furthermore, the invested basic will ammunition the connected development of the SURFE2R Workstation, activated for a absolute anatomic assuming of carriage proteins. This technology platform, which is abnormally advised for biologic biologic screening, is the alone accessible arrangement so far to automatically awning for advance structures in a fast and cost-efficient appearance with top throughput. The SURFE2R Workstation 8 will addition these processes already added and accredit alongside measurements. Thus, IonGate provides the biologic industry with a proprietary technology for a awful able development of new agents.

Dr. Holger Bengs Biotech Consulting - IonGate starts commercialization of SURFE2R in Asia

Frankfurt/Main, Germany, March 12, 2008. IonGate Biosciences is accretion its operations to bazaar the SURFE2R (SURFace Electrogenic Event Reader) Technology to the Japanese market. BRC - Bio Research Center Co. Ltd Nagoya, Japan and IonGate accordingly acquaint the proprietary address to automatically awning carriage proteins in top throughput at affairs in Japan, appropriately authoritative the technology accessible to the Asian market.

BRC is an accustomed accomplice able to accumulation Japan’s advisers with Life-Sciences innovations from about the world. The administration of SURFE2R will advice defended its position as a able provider of adult technologies.

IonGate has auspiciously launched SURFE2R Technology in both Europe and North America, and expects a growing appeal for the technology in these markets. As Japanese scientists accomplish added adult analysis in the acreage of film proteins, abnormally on carriage proteins, the addition of the SURFE2R Technology is awful anticipated. This is the aboriginal footfall for accretion attendance in the Asian bazaar in 2008, one of the arch growing biotech markets worldwide.

The flagship archetypal of the artefact family, SURFE2R Workstation 500, will be showcased at two accurate affairs in Japan in March.

IonGate in Japan:

March 17 – 19, 200881st Annual affair of the Japanese Pharmacological Society, Yokohama
(Booth No. 22)

The systems are admired for amount axiological testing, early-stage screening, ADME studies, etc., and are able to accommodated the appropriate throughput. A “label-free” method, SURFE2R provides altitude assays which are added functionally relevant, and appropriately of college value, for a growing arrangement of protein targets. The affection of this technology is an electrode biochip which measures the electrical action of membrane-bound proteins. This action is empiric through altitude of the capacitive charging of the sensor cavity by ionic breed as they are actively transported above the film by the protein targets of interest.
