Background edit
Founded in 2012, as a spinout from the Royal Veterinary College, University of London, the company has developed a line of tools aimed at improving scientific experiments through enhanced delivery of a range of molecules into cells.[3]
Products edit
Tecrea Research Reagents and Drug Formulation products
Research Reagents edit
Transfection - Plasmid | siRNA edit
- HappyFect
- When mixed with DNA or RNA, HappyFect forms nanoparticles that enable efficient transfection with low toxicity
- There are two types of HappyFect:
Drug Delivery - Peptide & Protein | Small Molecule edit
- Nanocargo
- Tecrea’s NanoCargo products are aimed at improving the delivery of small molecules, peptides, and proteins, including antibodies, into a range of cell types and tissues. Nanocargo can also deliver cargo molecules into gram negative and gram positive bacteria.
- There are two types of Nanocargo:
Sterility Maintenance edit
- Antimicrobial - SanZone
- SanZone is used to ensure that incubators and water baths remain clean and infection-free. When culturing cells of any type, it is imperative that incubators be effectively sterile areas. The presence of SanZone kills microbes and prevents infection from accumulating in water baths and incubators.[8]
Drug Formulation edit
- Nanocin
- Nanocin is a new platform for nanoparticle-based delivery of small molecules that can be applied to small molecule reagents, drugs and diagnostic probes.[9]
