Video Supports New Test Kits

We produced a video to support our client VolitionRX when they announced that they had entered into a Global Sales and Distribution Agreement with Active Motif for a range of Research Use Only (“RUO”) kits, that are based on its proprietary Nucleosomics^® technology.

Founder and Chairman of Active Motif, Joseph M. Fernandez commented “We are continuously looking for innovative products in the field of epigenetics and believe Nucleosomics^® is a breakthrough technology. We are delighted to announce our strategic relationship with Volition and believe their Nucleosomics^® technology will complement our current range of products and should sell well. These RUO kits will provide researchers throughout the world with a new way to explore epigenetic modifications in circulating cell-free nucleosomes across different diseases from clinical samples. We aim to have the first kit available for sale by the end of June this year and are working with Volition to develop a broad range of assays focused on important targets.”

The RUO kits are based on the same Nu.Q™ immunoassay technology as Volition’s cancer screening panels and may be used to investigate a variety of clinical questions beyond Volition’s core focus in cancer biomarkers. The range of the RUO kits will allow researchers to explore patterns of epigenetic modifications in circulating nucleosomes in disease models, pre-clinical testing and clinical trials across a broad spectrum of clinical applications including cancer, inflammatory and infectious diseases and trauma.  The RUO kits will offer a complete profiling solution from cell to serum.

Chief Executive Officer of Volition, Cameron Reynolds, commented, “We are very happy to be working with Active Motif, who are key players in the field of epigenetics kits. This is a fantastic opportunity for Volition and we expect that it will provide an additional revenue stream beyond that from the expected commercialization of our blood-based tests for cancer. If the assays are developed as a companion diagnostic for another company’s therapeutic, this could also potentially result in further future revenue through a licensing or similar arrangement.”

Dr. Mark Eccleston, Volition’s Business Development Director, commented, “Active Motif is an ideal partner for us, given its great team that has already established relationships with our target customers across the world. Not only will the sale of the RUO kits generate revenue, but such sales will also broaden potential applications of our technology and generate further validation of the Nucleosomics^® platform.”
