Diagnostic Reagents Enhanced with Next Gen Synthetic Polymers for Greater Sensitivity
The Sciforiem PL 1000 Series of functional synthetic polymers will be introduced to markets outside of Japan starting in July by Artience Co., Ltd., the holding company for the Tokyo-based chemicals manufacturing organization Artience organization. Sciforiem polymers are useful for the creation of biosensors, diagnostic tests, and other in vitro diagnostic (IVD) systems because they can be designed to mimic biological processes and are produced from non-biological raw ingredients.
Medical devices called IVDs are used to detect illnesses by analyzing biological samples, such as tissue or blood. Sciforiem PL 1000 polymers are specifically tailored for use in IVDs that detect target molecules by means of antigen-antibody reactions. These polymers can improve the overall performance of the reagent by stabilizing proteins, increasing detection sensitivity, and preventing non-specific protein adsorption when applied to the substrate material in antigen-antibody reaction detection.
Such biological functions performed by Sciforiem polymers are useful in various applications, such as blocking agents in immunoassays like ELISA and immunochromatography or as protein stabilizers in IVD assays. In biomolecule research, they act as additives in diagnostic reagents due to their ability to enhance functionality and stability.
With a century-plus heritage rooted in printing ink innovation, artience is uniquely positioned to apply its cutting-edge technologies, which have been honed over the decades, to engineer polymer products that address the stringent quality standards of today’s medical, electronics and other high-end fields. “Historically, bio raw materials were considered a biomanufacturing challenge for their inconsistent quality,” said Nozomu Hatano, General Manager of artience ‘s Biotech Business Unit in Japan. “By adopting artience ’s polymer design and dispersion technologies to address stability issues in raw materials, our engineers were able to fabricate a functional polymer for in vitro diagnostic reagents that exhibit minimal variation in quality. We expect the new Sciforiem PL 1000 Series to significantly reduce diagnostic errors and improve patient care, going forward.”
The Sciforiem Series of life science products from artience will be making its global debut at ADLM 2025 (or ADLM Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo), in Chicago, from July 27 to 31, 2025. In addition to functional synthetic polymers, artience will be featuring the Sciforiem FI Series of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence probes for high-sensitivity imaging.
