NanoHybrids Enters into Distribution Agreement with Eikonix
July 2015
NanoHybrids Inc, a biotechnology company based in Austin, Texas, and Eikonix, UK, a distributor of imaging systems and contrast agents, announced today that they have entered into an agreement that adds NanoHybrids’ premium gold nanoparticles to Eikonix's extensive offering of scientific research products and services.
NanoHybrids’ initial technology platform was developed in collaboration with researchers from the Biomedical Engineering Department at The University of Texas at Austin and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. In addition to gold nanoparticles with regular coatings such as citrate, CTAB and PEG, the company’s products include an exclusive line of silica-coated gold nanoparticles.
NanoHybrids offers several advantages over its competitors:
- Monodisperse gold nanoparticles with well-defined, narrow plasmon resonance peaks
- Low batch-to-batch variability to ensure consistent results
- Full transparency on surface chemistry
- Specialized silica coated nanorods and spheres that confer high colloidal and thermodynamic stability, enhanced signal strength, and bioconjugation potential
NanoHybrids gold nanoparticles are excellent for providing contrast in a wide variety of biological applications and optical imaging techniques including photoacoustic imaging, optical coherence tomography, microscopy, SERS and lateral flow assays.
“Since our launch last year, NanoHybrids products have been quickly gaining popularity with imaging researchers thanks to our high quality and personalized customer service,” said Nishi Viswanathan, Director, Product Development & Marketing at NanoHybrids. “We are very pleased to partner with Eikonix, and believe that this agreement will reinforce NanoHybrids’ position as a worldwide supplier of high quality gold nanoparticles and contrast agents. With its strong team and tight focus on scientific and healthcare markets, Eikonix will help promote the benefits of our technology to researchers in the imaging industry.”
“The addition of NanoHybrids’ gold nanoparticles further strengthens our commitment to provide specialized support for imaging applications,” said Paul Elwood, CEO of Eikonix."The superior features of NanoHybrids’ gold nanoparticles make them highly attractive for use in imaging related applications where quality, sensitivity and consistent results are key. This agreement will provide us with a product to more effectively address this fast growing market."
