Genovis AB has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Alphalyse A/S


The cooperation agreement will provide Genovis with access to Alphalyse’s
expertise in mass spectrometry while Alphalyse will have the opportunity to
offer its customers analyses based on Genovis’ unique enzymes for antibodies and
other pharmaceutical proteins.
Much of Genovis’ customer base works with mass spectrometry in the analysis of
biologics. Genovis and Alphalyse will actively market new methods based on
Genovis’ products, which directly focus on this customer group. This strategy
will strengthen Genovis, which will be able to expand its customer base and thus
increase sales.

“Alphalyse has world-leading expertise in mass spectrometric analysis of
proteins. Their knowledge of sample processing and the limitations of current
enzymes enable us to use existing and upcoming products in applications where
they will have maximum value. We are very pleased to have the opportunity to
market and develop methods of mass spectrometric analysis together with
Alphalyse and I am convinced that this will be a long-term and mutually
rewarding collaboration,” says Fredrik Olsson, CEO of Genovis.

“Genovis has unique enzymes and products that allow for better and faster
analysis of protein-based drugs when using mass spectrometry. The collaboration
with Genovis provides Alphalyse with a major advantage in our work helping
pharmaceutical companies that develop products such as monoclonal antibodies,
antibody drug conjugates for cancer treatment and de-novo-sequencing of new
antibodies in the discovery phase,” says Ejvind Mørtz, COO of Alphalyse.

MORE ABOUT GENOVIS PRODUCTS

Genovis’ products are marketed under the name “Smart Enzymes” and are used to
process antibodies and split them into smaller fragments. To date, the products
have been marketed primarily for characterization of biologics. Customers use
small quantities of the products in a large number of samples to divide the drug
candidate into smaller fragments, which are then analyzed. All of the products
are also highly effective in production of large quantities of antibody
fragments, which are required in several different studies in preclinical drug
discovery.
