$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
