Biosynth exhibiting innovative luminescent probe technologies at ASM Microbe 2018

Staad, Switzerland: – Microbiology and organic fine chemicals CDMO and specialist supplier, Biosynth AG will exhibit its latest luminescence-based pathogen detection technologies at the upcoming ASM Microbe meeting in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Biosynth stand at Booth 3023 in the Georgia World Congress Center will display a range of the company’s world-leading chemiluminescence and bioluminescence probes.

Increased light emission

These are spearheaded by the breakthrough AquaSpark™ dioxetane chemiluminescence probes that are characterized by exceptional light emission properties. Bioluminescent probes including ProLuciferines and CybLuc red shifted luciferin for cell imaging and molecular biology will be also presented.

Biosynth will also contribute to the poster sessions (Session 081 – AES14-) and with an oral presentation on ‘New Luminescent Enzyme Substrates for Sensitive and Specific Microbial Detection’ by Biosynth Head of R&D, Dr. Lukas Wick.

New generation of luminescent probes

Dr. Wick’s presentation will highlight the latest developments on the new generation of luminescence-based probes, and their potential new fields of application.

Biosynth will also be represented in Atlanta by its CEO, Dr. Urs Spitz, Fabien Scorza, Sales Manager for North America and Business Director David McEwan.

“ASM Microbe 2018 provides us with a great platform from which to emphasize our leadership in the fields of detection reagents and specialty chemicals for microbiology” said Dr. Lukas Wick.
