Difficulty of monitoring quality parameters

The problem

Difficulty of monitoring quality parameters

One crucial type of instrument for drug R&D are tools to measure biomolecular interaction, helping researchers to understand the efficacy of substances that have potential for use as novel drugs. The current systems used in the industry are often larger than fridges, complex to use, and cost up to several hundred thousand GBP upfront and each time they are operated. As a result, even in large pharmaceutical companies they are shared between multiple users, while smaller companies often cannot afford these tools at all.

The solution

A high throughput but affordable lab grade biosensor

Abselion’s award-winning technology is very different from state-of-the-art methods and enables us to offer significantly simpler and more affordable biomolecular interaction analysis. Abselion’s Amperia will enable SME biotechs and large pharma to perform measurements in-house, thereby significantly reducing turnaround time, while at the same time providing a universally applicable fast screening tool.

Dr. Ruizhi Wang

Founder & Engineering Director

Ruizhi Wang is the Founder of Abselion is a start-up company based in Cambridge UK, The mission of Abselion is to create instruments that enable scientists to understand how proteins behave and what their properties are, faster, more accurately and more easily than ever before. During his PhD in Engineering at the University of Cambridge, Ruizhi worked on the scalable production of nanomaterials and processes to integrate these into devices such as sensors. The methods that he developed made it possible to create a new generation of nanomaterial-based sensors at industrially relevant scale.
