From diagnostic to therapeutic

Following 20 years of development and pre-clinical evaluation, i-Particles® have already proven efficacy in several fields as vaccines, drug delivery and diagnostics while i-LipoP® compete for the next standard of carrier systems. Through an effective research policy, Adjuvatis is involved in many collaborative projects, constantly extending i-Particles® fields of application.

VACCINE ADJUVANT

i-Particles® and i-LipoP®, new class of adjuvants

Either alone or encapsulating immunogenic molecules, our technologies are able to greatly stimulate humoral and/or cell-mediated responses of vectorized antigens and increase antigen stability.

DRUG DELIVERY

The key to unlock the full potential of your active ingredient

Through an experience with more than 50 biomolecules, Adjuvatis is able to predict molecule formulation parameters and efficiency based on physico-chemical properties of the active ingredient. Once optimized, i-Particles® and i-LipoP® formulations are controlled for long storage stability.

Additionally to the formulation service, a biodistibution study can be performed thanks to co-encapsulation with a fluorophore. From organ scale to body scale, Adjuvatis is able to follow the pathway of i-Particles® and i-LipoP®.

DIAGNOSTICS

Enhance your antigen detection with plain or dyed i-Particles®

Formulating your antibody or ligand with i-Particles® is the key to reveal antigen or receptor interactions with a biodegradable platform for lateral flow tests, agglutination tests or bead-ELISA.

Adjuvatis provides a new class of products based on functionnalized dyed or plain i-Particles® for diagnostic purposes. Thanks to its biodegradable polymer, develop your own eco-compatible tool for high antigen recognition. Entirely customizable, select the best dye or diameter of particles.
