BDS is happy to announce the establishment of various new global partners
to be able to meet the increasing demands for our assays and to further improve
local services. Of course we value every new cooperation equally. Nevertheless
we would like to highlight some of them to give you a flavour of our progress.
We are excited to announce our new cooperative partnership for China
with Beijing GreenSail Technology Co., Ltd. and EuroTech having its offices
in Beijing and several other cities. Both are partners knowing the water testing
business very well in China and Hong Kong. Additionally, we are very pleased
to announce the new cooperation with Youlong Biotech Co, which are located in
Shanghai. They have several local representatives in China and have many years
of experiences in the food/feed testing market. By adding these highly professional
partners to our network of distributors, BDS clients in China and Hong Kong
can now be assisted in a straightforward manners.
"Joining BDS' network enables us to offer a wide range of modern
bioanalysis tools for the safety control of water in China as well as adding
new R&D biotechnology tools. This is the first step in beginning
to distribute such innovative biodetectors through all our distributor channels,"
said the General Manager, Dr. Scottie Liu.
The Managing Director of Shanghai Youlong Biotech Co., Ltd., Dr. Aibo Wu,
knows about the needs in the steadily growing food/feed export/import market
in China for rapid and cost-effective screening methods on the highest international
standard.

More than 200 delegates visited our first CALUX<sup>®</sup>
booth at the DIOXIN 2009 conference in Beijing. They were very interested in
the usefulness of such a rapid, quantitative, cheap and easy-to-learn biodetection
method for such persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the low femtogram concentration
range, allowing rapid identification of the source and solution to the problems.
BDS and KTE Technologies from Haifa, Israel, represented by the CEO
and founder Dr. Katz, announced a distribution and service representation agreement
for all CALUX® technologies end of December 2009. We are extremely
happy with this professional partnership in Israel.
“After the start of more intensively testing for dioxin in food and feed
in Israel the rapid, cheap and easy-to-learn dioxin screening method DR
CALUX® is playing a key role in the food and feed safety control
in the coming years,“ is Dr. Gil Katz, CEO and founder of KTE convinced.
“KTE’s long time experience in the dioxin testing market makes us an ideal
partner for clients in the governmental, R&D or industrial sector”.
"We are very excited about the opportunity to work with BDS. This
partnership will enhance the availability of the CALUX® products
and services to many new customers in the Arabic world, an area that shows
tremendous growth potential.”
At the food/feed and environmental BioDetectors conference in Tel-Aviv end
of March 2009 we were delighted to welcome many key experts in the fields
of environmental testing for POPs and endcocrine disrupting chemicals and to
discuss the implementation into the regulations as well as possible future R&D
projects.
Mr. Alfredo Montes Nino, President from Microbioticos, located
in Sao Paulo and Madrid, is also adding the DR CALUX® technology
for food/feed testing, to their portfolio of state-of-the art bioanalysis technologies. Since
end of December 2009 both companies start to convince the local authorities
to start monitoring programs by including such screening methods for dioxins
and dl-PCBs. We are extremely happy with this professional partnership in Argentine,
Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay and we are looking forward to learn more about
the needs and usage of such bioanalysis tools in South-America.
Both
parties plan to visit several key experts in South-America mid of March 2010
to offer possibilities of joint operations. Therefore we are looking at the
moment for interested parties in or wide range of testing methods for dioxins/dl-PCBs,
pharmaceuticals, hormones and other environmental key pollutants.
In
Vietnam collaborative R&D programs have been started in the field of
|
a) |
innovative natural products with Prof. Pham Quoc Long from the Institute of Natural Products Chemistry (INPC) as well as with |
|
b) |
in the field of biotechnology with Prof. Truong Nam Hai from the Institute of Biotechnology (IBT), |
both under
the umbrella of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST). The aim
of both programs will be to apply and co-develop the CALUX platform technology
for implementation in the whole of Vietnam as fast screening method for
all kinds of drug toxins, supplements, food, feed, environment, anti-doping,
human monitoring and screening of natural resources.
Both parties
plan to organise several meetings and seminars to exchange ideas/concepts of
research topics for Vietnamese and Dutch research partners in the coming years.
In
Korea we welcome a new collaborative R&D programs with Dr. Kya-Tae Lee’s
NeoEnBiz Co. located nearby Seoul, in the field of R&D applications of our
wide range of CALUX analysis systems.
The aim will be to apply the
CALUX platform technology as fast screening method for all kinds of food, feed,
environment, human and publich monitoring.
Both parties plan to organise
several meetings and seminars to exchange ideas/concepts of research topics
for Vietnamese and Dutch research partners in the coming years.
