Tel Aviv University Announces Collaboration with Biosynth

STAAD, SWITZERLAND and TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, AUGUST 14, 2017 – Biosynth, a global company supplying intermediate chemicals to the life science industry and Tel Aviv University (TAU) through Ramot its Business Engagement Center, announce the signing of a licensing agreement giving Biosynth the right to manufacture and sell probes invented by Prof. Doron Shabat from the TAU School of Chemistry.

Prof. Doron Shabat has developed a series of Dioxetane based novel chemiluminescence probes for research and diagnostic applications. This work was recently published in ACS central science and received much attention and follow up comments.
These probes offer unique advantages as they can work as single agents (without the need for enhancers), they have a higher efficiency and sensitivity over currently existing probes, they are especially designed to work under physiological conditions and can be used ex-vivo and in-vivo.

Dr. Urs Spitz, President of Biosynth declared: “We develop reporter molecules for bioanalytical and diagnostics producers across the globe. As soon as I read Doron’s publication I realized how huge the invention’s potential really is - it will dramatically improve the handling and speed of bio tests.”
Biosynth will receive a license to manufacture the probes and sell them to customers who develop and sell kits. The series of invented probes have multiple commercial applications, targeting a potential multibillion dollar market. Ramot has filed the series of probes under the trademark name AquaSpark.

"We are confident that Biosynth is the right partner with the most professional tools to rapidly bring this technology to the market. We intend to work with Biosynth to generate many agreements with multiple players in the various life science sectors in order to make AquaSpark™ the acknowledged standard Dioxetane-based novel probe for research and diagnostic applications”, said Dr. Adi Elkeles, VP BD Life Sciences, Ramot.
Prof. Shabat summarized: “We are extremely encouraged by the speed at which our initial communication and cooperation has developed and I look forward to expanding our collaboration with additional extensions of the current technology which look very promising”.
