EXOSOMICS SIENA

Strada del Petriccio e Belriguardo, 35 - 53100 - Siena-SI

Exosomics, founded in 2011 and incubated at the incubator of Fondazione Toscana Life Sciences since 2012, was born as a spin-off of HansaBioMed OU for the exploitation of the EXOTESTTM technology platform, in order to develop multiplexing and validate in this platform a large panel of diagnostic and cancer predictive biomarkers, based on immunometric assays of exosomal biomarkers (proteins and RNA

Fondazione Pisana per la Scienza

Via Ferruccio Giovannini, 13 - 56017 - San Giuliano Terme

Fondazione Pisana per la Scienza is a non-profit research institute dedicated to the development and application of bioanalytical techniques with two distinct trajectories: 1. Biotechnology – FPS develops cutting edge technology platforms that provide new capabilities to the Pisan biomedical community, thereby aiding its growth and international standing. These technical services are also available to all scientists and professionals, independent of their affiliation or geographical location. 2. Biomedical research - FPS performs independent research with its own scientific staff and resources also within Pisan, national and international collaborations, in which the biotechnological capabilities of the FPS laboratories are utilized to investigate key biomedical questions. Currently the FPS research program comprises three areas, oncology, neuroscience and cardiovascular system.

Genedia

Via Lombarda, 169A - 55013 - Lammari-LU

Genedia has been active in the field of molecular diagnostics for more than 25 years. It researches, develops and produces diagnostic kits (e.g. HCV-RNA, HBV-DNA, sexually transmitted diseases, polymorphisms, gastrointestinal infections, herpes, prenatal diagnosis, veterinary) based on Real Time PCR, according to ISO 13485:2016 certification, in compliance with all the certification criteria required by the regulations (risk assessment, usability, performance assessment, specificity, cross contamination, interferences, after-sales surveillance). One of GeneDia's main strengths is customer service and after-sales surveillance of products and the risks associated with their use. Customer service is continuous thanks to the free remote validation of analytical sessions. Thanks to this service, on the one hand, the customer has greater security of the work carried out thanks to the remote validation of the analytical session, on the other hand GeneDia continuously acquires new information useful for reducing risks and improving usability. Genedia collaborates with important distributors in the sector and diagnostic centres.

HOSPITEX International

Via Baldanzese, 37 - 50041 - Calenzano-FI

Hospitex International has very specific expertise in cytology analysis, particularly in the field of liquid phase monolayer cytology. In this sector, it has developed and is finalizing an automatic system able to process slides starting from a bottle containing the sample stored in the liquid. The technology identified is based on two technological aspects, hitherto unique on the market: numerical sample standardisation and single-layer deposition with centrifugation controlled enrichment on the slide. The results obtained make the system particularly competitive with respect to current market standards.
