Our Technology

At AdvantiGen Biosciences, we enable medical device development and drug discovery that improve the human condition through the creation of innovative detection reagents and technologies.  This is achieved by utilizing our three core technologies to generate key biological tools.  

Our first core technology is comprised of our suite of optical imaging products, which allow the tracking of proteins and cells in vitro and in vivo using the Infrared (IR) region of the spectrum. Specifically, we have licensed six fluorophores, which one of our founders developed, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Advantages of our fluorophores include, that they utilize IR wavelengths so there is low background signal, they are compatible with existing commercial devices, they can either be conjugated or co-translationally fused to target proteins, they can be expressed in vivo, and they work in both anaerobic and aerobic environments.  These properties of AdvantiGen’s our fluorophores result in improved research and diagnostic imaging. Importantly, we are still expanding our intellectual property around this technology by additional engineering of our fluorophores to have even better properties and performance.  

Our second technology is a proprietary and patented hybridoma antibody platform technology developed by members of the AdvantiGen team.  This technology allows our team to produce significantly more antigen specific clones than standard fusion procedures.  It also has the ability to generate both mouse and human antibodies.  When utilized in combination with our fluorphore technology, this platform technology should allow AdvantiGen to develop important diagnostic and therapeutic antibodies.

By utilizing combinations of our core technologies AdvantiGen is able to provide our customers tools and services that meet or exceed their specifications leading to the acceleration of their research and development.
