ADELAIDE, Australia
TGR BioSciences Pty Ltd (TGR), a leading developer of advanced cell-based assay technologies, is pleased to announce a license agreement with Abcam plc, of Cambridge, UK, a producer and distributor of high quality protein research tools. Under the agreement Abcam will develop and manufacture immunoassay products that incorporate TGR’s proprietary CaptSure™ assay technology.

About the CaptSure™ technology:
TGR’s proprietary CaptSure™ technology enables solution-phase delivery of antibody pairs in sandwich immunoassays, allowing the simultaneous formation and immobilisation of the analyte immunocomplex in a single assay incubation. Assays can be run in as little as 1 hour, require only a single wash cycle, and provide an extremely sensitive means for quantitation of proteins. Furthermore, there is no requirement for specialized instrumentation, with the assays using standard laboratory plate readers for signal detection.
