Custom Development

How to improve the characteristics of optical probes?

Quidd offers know-how in optical probes chemistry for the development of novel probes.

An original preliminary feasibility study allows us to rapidly evaluate the complexity of the challenge brought to us by the biopharmaceutical industry independently of chemical and biological issues. In the case this feasibility study turns out to be positive, we propose a contract of development, guaranteed by Quidd's multidisciplinary skills.

As our customers own the biological models, they are thus fully included in the elaboration of the specifications and in the validation of the desired probe.

Custom optical probes can be designed for in vitro assays as well as in vivo applications. Various biological events can be targeted thanks to our technologies:

• Protease activity (caspases, MMPs, cathepsins, etc.)
• Glucuronidase activity
• Kinase activity
• Glucose consumption
• pH variation
• Oxydo-reduction variation
