Microsaic announces new protein identification product
Microsaic Systems plc (AIM: MSYS), the developer of point of
need mass spectrometry ("MS") instruments, announces the
introduction of its new protein identification technology.
The Microsaic MiD(R) ProteinID is a break-through mass
identification technique that allows users to verify target
proteins throughout the whole bioprocessing value chain. By
providing deterministic characterisation for proteins and small
molecules at the point of need, the Microsaic MiD(R) ProteinID
offers fast results over a mass range of 50-3,200 m/z, the broadest
mass coverage for a small footprint mass spectrometer. Driven by
design, the Microsaic MiD(R) ProteinID is transformational for
process analytics, as its abilities as a point-of-need technology
are derived from simplicity, and low maintenance which allows for
minimal down-time and greater confidence in results.
Biologic drugs represented eight out of ten top selling drugs in
2016, with expected revenues in 2019 of c$445Bn. Revenues are
c$15Bn from the top eight suppliers of manufacturing equipment into
this industry.
Biologic manufacture demands real-time analysis throughout the
entire process. The Microsaic MiD(R) ProteinID provides real time
analysis from the raw in-coming goods, to upstream 'in-cell' drug
production, and subsequent downstream product purification.
The Microsaic MiD(R) ProteinID was ranked among the top
innovative products of the year by The Analytical Scientist
Innovation Awards in December 2018.
Glenn Tracey, CEO of Microsaic, commented, "Bringing the power
of the centralised laboratory to in-situ bioprocessing line
measurements, the Microsaic MiD(R) ProteinID reduces key
bioprocessing analyses from days to minutes. This means that
operators can monitor feedstocks, metabolites and target proteins
in just one measurement, thus accelerating time-to-market for new
biologics development. Mass spectrometry can now offer superlative
performance to high value manufacturing industries at the
point-of-need, providing much greater insights over ubiquitous
optical sensors."

About Microsaic Systems
Microsaic Systems plc (AIM: MSYS) is a high technology company
developing chip-based, bench-top and point-of-analysis mass
spectrometry ("MS") instruments that are designed to improve the
efficiency of pharmaceutical R&D and manufacturing. The Company
works with established global life science companies to co-develop
new solutions to improve productivity in the development of small
molecule and novel biologic (peptides, antibodies) medicines. MS is
a powerful method of analysis to enable earlier decision making
relating to product identification, purity and bioactivity, and is
the analytical technique of choice for biochemists across many
industry sectors.
The Microsaic's compact MiD(R) MS systems retain the
functionality of larger conventional MS systems, while being easier
to use by non-specialists, and consume less energy and have lower
running costs. For more information, please go to
