AcouSort AB today announced it has signed a technology evaluation agreement with the Danish diagnostics company SeeQ Diagnostics concerning the evaluation of AcouSort’s blood/plasma separation technology for automatically preparing blood samples for SeeQ’s diagnostic platform, SepSeeQ.
“We are very excited by this collaboration and envision – besides the implementation for the SepSeeQ assay – to independently commercialize a pipetting robot interface for blood/plasma separation related to any relevant plasma-based assays,” said AcouSort’s CEO Dr. Torsten Freltoft.
“The integration of acoustic separation technology in our automated workflows help decrease turnaround time from patient sample collection to identified disease causing microorganisms, allowing physicians to improve antimicrobial treatment and patient outcomes” said SeeQ CEO Anders B. Sørensen
SeeQ Diagnostics is developing a novel rapid diagnostic assay, SepSeeQ, for detection of infectious microorganisms directly from <1 mL of plasma. After preliminary evaluation and testing, the parties have signed an agreement for the evaluation of AcouSort’s blood/plasma separation technology for automatically preparing blood samples for the SepSeeQ assays.
The solution to be evaluated includes a generally applicable interface unit mountable on a standard pipetting robot with AcouSort’s Acoustic Separation modules dedicated for blood/plasma separation.
Any development results from the collaboration related to the SepSeeQ assay will become the property of SeeQ Diagnostics, whereas any development results from the collaboration related to producing blood plasma directly on a pipetting robot using AcouSort technology will become the property of AcouSort with a licensing option to SeeQ Diagnostics.
The collaboration also includes a joint collaboration with a leading provider of advanced pipetting robot systems.
ABOUT SEEQ DIAGNOSTICS
SeeQ Diagnostics is a Danish startup supported by the BioInnovation Institute located in Copenhagen Denmark. SeeQ Dx is developing a rapid precision diagnostics method “SepSeeQ” to identify any pathogen from <1mL of patient plasma in 6-8 hours. SepSeeQ has been evaluated in two clinical studies to date (emergency care unit and chronic vascular graft infections), with multiple clinical exploratory activities ongoing in neonates and hematological malignancies.
