Protein chemistry is not streamlined
$10 billion1 in annual waste▪ Complicated, unreliable technologies
▪ Data is often not reproducible
▪ Required boutique solutions are:
- non-interchangeable
- expensive
- fragile

The basis of our technology is a robust two-part protein tag
▪ Stable (extremophile origin)
▪ Soluble (expression enhancer)
▪ Inexpensive to produce (up to 1/1000th of the cost)
▪ Strong (antibody level affinity)
▪ Small (less bulky)
▪ Flexibility (diverse applications)
▪ Proprietary

Alone or in combination, these pieces offer a
functionally superior and streamlined solutionto replace existing products/kits used in every life
science lab in the world…

Just a few examples…▪ Affinity chromatography (shown here)
▪ IP/pulldown kit
▪ ELISA kit
▪ Western blot kit
▪ Immunocytochemistry

The RP system binds tighter than antibodies and is target specific
10
The RP system is robust enoughto survive repeat boiling

Proof-of-concept
- Solubility tag- Genetic engineering of
RP(large) and RP(small)- Patent licensing
Product development
- Optimize RP tags- Develop kit prototypes- Patent filing (x2)- Beta testing- Identify market strategy- Secure distributors- Online store soft launch
Distribution
- Product extension- International distribution- Execute market strategy
