Anagnostics Partnership Announced for Rapid Identification of Sepsis
5 Jul 2012
Anagnostics Bioanalysis has announced that it is to enter into a license agreement and partnership with Molzym (Bremen, Germany) to commonly develop hybcell Pathogens DNA, a ground-breaking system for rapidly identifying sepsis causing pathogens out of whole blood.
The deal includes the in-licensing of Molzym’s SepsiTest™ sample preparation kit, which is used for DNA extraction from only a small number of pathogens found in sample material. Together with Anagnostics’ disruptive multiplexed hybcell technology identification of pathogens will be accomplished in less than four hours, improving the prognosis of septic patients significantly.
Early and fast diagnosis of pathogens is crucial for the survival of patients – especially in the initial phase of a developing sepsis. Testing from whole blood overcomes the need for microbiological breeding and reduces time for test results from one or more days down to four hours.

Hybcell - DNA or protein microarray
Anagnostics BioanalysisAnagnostics' hybcell is the world's first DNA or protein microarray based on the use of cylinders instead of slides. hybcell technology is... KINETIC - by means of consecutive scans, FAST - with help of rotational sample agitation, FLEXIBLE - due to fixed starting temperatures, flexible temperature profiles and computer-controlled buffer exchange and EFFICIENT - by automated processing and electronically documenting of up to 96 samples in a single run.
Hyborg - cylindrical DNA and protein analysis
Anagnostics BioanalysisHyborg is a fully automated device for processing and analysing hybcells (cylindrical DNA and protein microarrays). Hyborg integrates thermocycler, hybridisation station and scanner into a single device. All processing steps - from temperature profiles or exchange of liquids to multi-color scanning - are computer-controlled and documented. Hyborg's concept of totally integrated automation guarantees maximum reproducibility of assays. Autonomous processing of up to 96 hybcells reduces hands-on-time to a minimum and provides maximum ease of use.
