英国Innova Biosciences公司的核心业务是生物偶联技术(bioconjugation)—— 即将两种分子结合在一起形成一个杂合偶联物(hybrid conjugate)。这些标记偶联物(标记抗体或抗原)在世界各地的医院及科研机构被广泛使用。Innova 公司开发生产的一步共轭法(Lightning-Link™)抗体标记试剂盒系列产品极大程度地简化了抗原、抗体标记流程,提高了标记效率。同时,Innova公司也提供标记优化和开发更灵敏的免疫诊断试验服务。此外,Innova 公司也向药物研发实验室提供一些相关产品。
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OVERVIEW
Innova Biosciences Ltd’s core business is bioconjugation – the joining of two molecules to form hybrid ‘conjugate’. Conjugates are used in hospital and research labs around the world; they also feature in consumer items such as pregnancy test kits (the conjugate is responsible for the blue line). Innova’s one-step conjugation method (Lightning-Link™) massively simplifies the production of conjugates that are needed for research and immunodiagnostic applications. Innova also offers exclusive services for optimizing the performance of conjugates and developing more sensitive immunodiagnostic tests. Innova also sells several niche products to pharmaceutical research and development labs (last updated October 2008).
MISSION STATEMENT
Innova aims to deliver ground-breaking technologies and services that will greatly accelerate and simplify biological research and development. This will allow Innova to become a world leader in the supply of products and services to the academic, pharmaceutical and diagnostics sectors (last updated Jan 2006).
COMPANY HISTORY
Innova's research laboratories opened in October 2002 at the Babraham Bioincubator facility, close to the historic University City of Cambridge, UK. The company was awarded a research grant In 2003 to develop a number of novel research products primarily for applications in the pharmaceutical sector. In 2006, in response to frustration with traditional conjugation technologies, particularly difficulties in working with small amounts of material and in scaling up, Innova developed and launched its revolutionary Lightning-Link™ conjugation system. This dramatically changed the direction of the company’s development and today bioconjugation is our core business. Innova sells innovative conjugation products are services throughout the Life Science sector, especially into flow cytometry and diagnostics laboratories.
