BioChromix is investing more resources on our novel prion bioassays
Recent investments in this project the last year has led to new interesting discoveries and BioChromix will therefore increase our efforts
in the future. Our primary goal is to commercialize a diagnostic test for pathogenic prion within the next one to two years. We are also
looking for a collaboration partner within this project.

BioChromix announces that beta testing of our Insulin quality assay has begun
BioChromix initiates beta testing of an insulin quality probe that can be used to detect insulin fibrils at ultra low concentrations in many
different types of insulin solutions. BioChromix high quality probes are designed for quality control during small or large scale insulin
production. The probes can also be used for research and development of production methods, formulation and more.
During production, samples can be removed at different points during the production and analyzed with BioChromix probes using a standard protocol.
Contact BioChromix if you have any question or interest in this beta testing program.

First Price Award goes to Peter Nilsson and Anna Herland
During the conference "Molecular aspects of misfolding diseases", hosted by the Swedish Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, in
Linköping, Sweden, Peter Nilsson and Anna Herland were awarded first price for the best Poster at the Poster Exhibition.
Peter Nilsson received the price from Prof. Fred Cohen, University of California, San Francisco, USA, and other members of the jury were
Prof. Jeffery W. Kelly, The Scripps Research Institute, San Diego, USA, Prof. Jonathan Weissman, University of California, San Francisco, USA,
and Prof. Nancy Bonini, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA.
Peter and Anna have used BioChromix technology in state-of-the-art applications and worked on the use of BioChromix polymer for the
detection of amyloid fibril formation in amyloidogenic proteins. The title of the poster was "Conjugated luminescent polyelectrolytes -
conformation sensitive optical probes for the detection of amyloid fibril formation".
The Swedish Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is a Constituent Society of FEBS (Federation of European Biochemical Societies)
which is an Associated Organization to IUBMB (International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology).
