ALPHELYS is granted a new patent by French Patent Office on a new technology for tissue array construction. This innovative technology simplifies, accelerates and makes tissue array automation more reliable. This technology is at the origin of MiniCore® ALPHELYS’ new semi-automated tissue arrayer. The patent should soon be granted by the European Patent Office. The patent is currently in world extension phase.

ALPHELYS and SEROA sign an exclusive agreement by which terms ALPHELYS will develop SEROA reagents business over a large region including numerous European countries and USA . ALPHELYS will also distribute SEROA's products in France in the hospital sector which was historically never prospected by SEROA.

SEROA is a Monaco based company which invented more than 20 years ago a technique called CytoScreen® for monolayer cytology (also called Liquid Based Cytology) analysis of cervix samples within the framework of tracking cervix cancer. CytoScreen® is widely used since many years in the private labs in France and particularly at Laboratoires Pasteur-Cerba, the largest European private lab.

CytoScreen® has proven its efficiency since many years against mostly American competitors. CytoScreen®, only approuved kit using centrifugation in the sample preparation, is in particular recognized for the high quality of the homogenous cells spread on the slide after preparation which is demonstrated to be much more representative than the one obtained with alternative techniques that tend to clean too much the samples and may eliminate cells which can prove important into the diagnosis.

This important agreement for both companies is completed with a distribution agreement of ALPHELYS products by SEROA in private french labs. This includes RCL2®, new alternative, non toxic formol-free solution to formulated fixatives, SnapFrost®, a -80°C liquid nitrogen-free snap-freezing system and imaging software for image capture and archiving.

Beyond these commercial agreements, it is very important long term cooperation that is engaged between ALPHELYS and SEROA during which ALPHELYS will develop, based on its various expertises in instrument design and software development, an integrated solution for liquid base cytology which will propose sample preparation automation and automated image analysis on slide.

SEROA will develop complementarily its scientific expertises to enlarge the spectrum of applications for the CytoScreen® techniques opening new perspectives of markets.
