Company Profile
Q Chip was formed in 2003 to exploit breakthrough microparticle and microfluidic technologies developed at Cardiff University. The company has rapidly established itself as one of the leading developers of delivery systems for the new advanced therapeutics of the post-Genomics age. These systems revolve around proprietary PolyQules, combining drug with polymer to form solid microparticles which can be delivered intact for controlled release and improved efficacy.

Q Chip’s Rational PolyQule Design approach enables customisation for widespread applications. Potential development programmes in CNS, Oncology and Endocrine Disorders have already been identified. Initial opportunities are being exploited in healthcare consumer products. Located in Cardiff and London, the company generates substantial additional revenues from service contracts.
 

Products from Q-Chip

 

All-in-one beads

Q Chip has announced the launch of ReaX MDx enhanced PCR beads for molecular diagnostics. ReaX MDx beads provide a complete assay in an extremely easy-to-use format with a much simplified workflow compared to some currently
available molecular diagnostics. ReaX MDx eliminate the need for temperature-controlled logistics – making them particularly suitable for oncology and infectious disease assays and pointof-care formats. The new ReaX MDx beads are produced from organic and hydrogel polymers in Q Chip’s proprietary MicroPlant microfluidic device. The MicroPlant produces beads of extreme uniformity (<2% variability) that encapsulate all the
reagents needed to perform the diagnostic assay. This means that ReaX MDx assays require minimal user input, time and skill level giving results that are accurate and reproducible every time.
