Friends (1) November 28, 2007 3 Views 0 Comments Vivacta, a UK-based developer of a point-of-care immunoassay system, has raised $12 million in Series B funding. AGF Private Equity and HBM BioVentures co-led the round, and were joined by return backers Spark Ventures and Viking. Get more info. PRESS RELEASE Vivacta announced today that it had raised $12 million from a successful Series B financing round. This will be used to drive forward the commercialisation and launch of its first, highly sensitive Point of Care (PoC) immunoassay system, based on its patented piezofilm sensor technology. Commenting on the deal, Neil Butler, CEO, said, “We were pleased to have the deal co-led by two very strong European Venture Capital firms, AGF Private Equity and HBM BioVentures. Our existing investors, Spark Ventures and Viking, both chose to follow on which is a very strong endorsement of Vivacta's technology platform and our approach to its commercialisation”. AGF Private Equity and HBM BioVentures will be further strengthening the Vivacta Board through the appointment of two well-known diagnostic industry leaders – Gerry Moeller and Gerard Vaillant. Gerry was previously Chief Executive of the Boehringer Mannheim group and after its acquisition joined the management board of Roche. Gerard Vaillant chaired the diagnostics division of J&J, and acted as CEO and President of Ortho Clinical and Lifescan. Neil Butler believes that, “With our existing Chairman, Rolf Classon, and Director, Werner Schaefer, these new appointments give us a Board with more combined industry know how than probably any other privately held diagnostics company.” Vivacta is currently finalising the reader and cartridge for its rapid, highly sensitive, piezo film-based immunoassay system. It intends to begin clinical evaluation of its first PoC application, TSH, in 2008. In-line with its commercialisation plans, Vivacta is in the process of doubling the size of its facility in the Kent Science Park. This will allow the company to add a pilot manufacturing line for its disposable cartridge. Vivacta is already in discussion with a number of potential licensees that are interested in the opportunity to commercially exploit its unique piezofilm technology. About AGF Private Equity

Lifelinelab s.r.l. started its activities in April 2003, thanks to the commitment of three managers coming from the ex Diagnostic Division Manufacturing Plant of Alfa Wassermann S.P.A. First step has been to secure raw materials, and equipment for R&D and Manufacturing of products and services in the field of Human in Vitro Diagnostics. nnnnnFirst diagnostic reagents were manufactured, in this site, over 40 years ago, through the bravery and the enterprising spirit of Prof. Balducci ex Managing Director of Virology Laboratory of "Istituto Superiore di Sanitu00e0". First products were based on tissue colture technology included a line of complement fixation antigens. Since then, the company developed methods and products, covering almost all the fields of Human in Vitro Diagnostics, from Clinical Chemistry to Immunochemistry. The mostly developed sector has been that of Infectious Diseases with particular regard to Viral pathologies. Most products have been developed using biological raw materials derived from in house, in vivo or in vitro, productions. Nowadays the company aims to face and develop markets with consolidate and emerging technologies such as Microarrays using a chemistry patented and designed to covalently bind either Protein or Nucleic acids which aims to allow the development of extremely sophisticated analysis in the emerging applications of proteomics and genomics.
Celerus Diagnostics is aiming to enhance the diagnostic capabilities of the pathology laboratory. Celerus' Rapid IHC technology aims to provide the capability to decentralize testing, and move results closer to the patient for real time decision making.
Knoesis seeks to develop bio-analytical hardware and reagents enabling cost-effective clinical diagnostics. The vision of the company is to allow everyone affordable access to rapid and specific diagnostic healthcare knowledge. Knoesis' first application is an immunosensor for the detection of latent tuberculosis infection.
Hx Diagnostics offers rapid diagnostics for seasonal and emerging infectious diseases.
Micronics, Inc. is a developer of near patient in vitro diagnostic products for disease diagnosis, prognosis and treatment monitoring. The Company employs a core patent estate in microfluidics -- the ability to miniaturize complex tests onto credit card size disposable devices. Per the company, tests that today take hours to days in a central laboratory environment are processed on a Micronics disposable device in seconds to minutes.
NIR Diagnostics is developing a diagnostic device to quantitatively assess the progress of the wound healing process. Per the company, the device has the potential to be a more accurate, more rapid, and less expensive method of wound assessment compared to those currently on the market.
