Description

Beyond the emerging company phase is an exciting growth phase, but it brings up multiple choices in three different dimensions: several target markets, multitude of potential applications with corresponding R&D models, and disparate opportunities to raise financing. Which option will give this green and growing life sciences company the desired growth?

Early success with partnering and licensing shows it may be the safe and reliable channel, but the real return on investment (ROI) may be in direct sales.  Is there a cost effective way to do both?

Biomatrica® offers innovative technologies for stabilizing biological samples at room temperature. We have developed a novel platform technology designed for use in preserving complex biological samples and assays. Our current products stabilize DNA and RNA with no sample degradation, thus labs can reduce their reliance on freezers and drastically reduce shipping costs. Biomatrica products are used in laboratories performing life science research, from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to academic research and forensics laboratories.

 

Biomatrica received CONNECT's "Most Innovative New Product" Award in 2006.
