Biotage AB joins forces with MultiSynTech GmbH and enters the peptide synthesis business

19-Feb-2009 - Germany

Biotage announced that the company will enter the peptide synthesis business, through two new agreements with German company MultiSynTech GmbH. The agreements concern both the distribution rights for MultiSynTech's systems and the establishment of a joint development project.

The agreements with MultiSynTech will grant Biotage distribution rights for all current MultiSynTech peptide synthesis systems. Biotage and MultiSynTech have also agreed on a joint development project to design and market a new microwave-aided peptide synthesis system, which will increase yield and speed in peptide synthesis.

"We look forward to working in close collaboration with Biotage. Biotage has a proven sales and support team that dramatically expands our coverage outside Central Europe, and really opens opportunities for our current products in USA, UK, Nordic and Asian regions." says Udo Treffer, CEO of MultiSynTech.

"MultiSynTech is the clear leader in robotic peptide synthesis. This joint development project will combine the proven performance of the current MultiSynTech robotic synthesizer with Biotage microwave technology in a unique integrated system." says Torben Jørgensen, CEO of Biotage.
