Primetech Appointed as Exclusive Distributor in Japan for RedShiftBio
Jul 12 2020
RedShift BioAnalytics, Inc has announced its award winning AQS3™pro, based on Microfluidic Modulation Spectroscopy (MMS) technology, is now available in Japan, following the appointment of Primetech as exclusive distributor. This partnership follows the announcement in May of appointing Topbiox as its distributor in China, and continuing RedShiftBio’s response to the rapid growth in demand globally for its novel AQS3™pro instrument. Designed specifically for protein characterisation applications in the biopharmaceutical industry, the technology has already seen wide adoption in the analytical toolkit of companies developing life-saving biotherapeutics and vaccines.
The Japanese biopharmaceutical industry has seen an increased focus on biologics development, especially biosimilar mAb therapeutics and vaccines. It is predicted that biosimilars will pose a ~$550b opportunity in Japan over the next seven years, due to the patent expiry of wave 2-3 biologics and a less stringent regulatory environment versus the US for approval. The partnership with Primetech will satisfy the growing demand from the biopharma industry for multi-functional, easy to use biophysical characterisation tools for protein secondary structural analysis.
“The novel capabilities of the AQS3pro have already led to the rapid adoption by biopharmaceutical companies in Europe and North America,” said Julien Bradley, CEO at RedShiftBio. “Primetech is working closely with the leading companies in this space, and has experience in introducing novel technologies. The company represents an ideal partner to help support and capitalise on the large market opportunity in Japan for the AQS3pro.”
"We are excited to start demonstrating the capabilities of the AQS3pro,” said Primetech CEO, Ryosuke Ogihara. “With the AQS3pro, Japanese scientists can analyse their samples more efficiently and accurately." Primetech will be responsible for all sales, marketing, service and support.
