Project title: DIAGNOSTIC ASSAYS FOR IRON OVERLOAD

Company name : AFERRIX LTD.

TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD
In vitro diagnostics

KEY WORDS
Labile Plasma Iron, LPI, DCI,
Chelation, Iron Overload, Non-Transferring Bound Iron, NTBI, ROS,
Personalized Medicine

PROJECT SUMMARY
AFERRIX is an innovative leader in the development of novel tools
for diagnosis and monitoring of toxic iron and iron overload.
Free iron catalyzes the production of Reactive Oxygen Species
(ROS) - free radicals, which cause damage to tissues such as the
heart and liver.

The company has developed several methods that quantify different
forms of toxic iron in serum that are not detected by
conventional tests.

AFERRIX is sourcing its product development and commercialization
capabilities from Pronto Diagnostics Ltd., a leading provider of
molecular diagnostic products and services, with extensive
knowledge, experience, and R&D capabilities in SNP-based analysis
of genetic variations.

ADVANTAGES
* Simple detection method for toxic iron
* Quick results within 2 hours
* Cost effective
* Very reliable results
* Available in a kit format (research use only)

APPLICATIONS
AND TARGET MARKETS
Detection and quantification of iron overload in body fluids.
Monitoring response to drug treatment.
