COMPANY INFORMATION
EUCODIS Bioscience GmbH

PRODUCT / SERVICE DESCRIPTION
Eucodis Bioscience provides high-performance enzyme solutions for advanced applications in biopharma, cosmetics, and fine chemicals industry. As a Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO)/Contract Research Organization (CRO), we are offering general services in enzyme and recombinant protein production.
Our Services include the following:
- Protein & enzyme engineering (Gene shuffling/recombination technologies)
- Production strain development (E.coli, Bacillus, Streptomyces, Corynebacterium, Pichia,
Sacharomyces, Aspergillus)
- Bioprocess development (ISO 9001, non-GMP), small scale
- Upscale/routine industrial protein/enzyme manufacturing (from 1 L up to 1000 L fermentation volume)
We are specialists in setting up optimized bioprocesses for the scale-up and manufacture of recombinant proteins according to ISO 9001 standards to assure maximum yields, stability and desired purity in reproducible reliable quality.
Furthermore, we are offering a panel of highly active industrial enzymes (lipases, phospholipases, nitrile hydratases, beta-Lactamases, catalases, peroxidases, amidases, etc.). The enzymes show superior activity in multiple applications, such as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) production, chiral syntheses, environmental monitoring in the manufacture of beta-lactam antibiotics, etc.
We also offer CTAT, a new enzymatic technology, which can be used for C-terminal, site-directed bioconjugation of proteins/antibodies with functional loads such as fluorescent dyes, PEG and chemotherapeutic molecules. CTAT solves the problems of existing technologies by enabling site-specific conjugation in defined Antibody-Drug-Ratio (DAR) without altering the structure of a protein/antibody. The CTAT-technology is available for licensing on a target basis or as a whole. We are also looking for partners who are interested in using the CTAT technology in diagnostic or other applications.

SteadySense GmbH

PRODUCT / SERVICE DESCRIPTION
Based on the sensor patch there are two main applications:
1. femSense fertility tracking
In this application the sensor detects a woman's ovulation, and the accompanying mobile app displays the fertile days. The women can use the information to increase the likelihood of pregnancy if she wants to have children or to just track her fertility.
USP: This so-called temperature method has been known for almost 100 years, the innovation of the product is the massive increase in reliability due to continuous temperature measurements because temperature curves, rather than a single measurement point per day, are compared to detect the basal temperature increase (see: www.femSense.com). The product is very easy to use, skin friendly and hormone free.
2. SteadyTemp continuous temperature measurement
The same temperature sensor has an approval as a medical thermometer which measures the body temperature every few minutes. This allows the user's body temperature to be continuously monitored and displayed as a temperature curve on a smartphone or other mobile device for further diagnoses by the user od doctors.
USP: Temperature curves can be an excellent base and early indicator for infections e.g. Covid-19 or any other disease (see: www.SteadyTemp.info). The product is very easy to use, skin friendly and comfortable.
Industry Tags:
Medical Devices, Digital Health, Health Care, Covid
