LipoFIT expands its diagnostics into new business fields
LipoFIT Analytic GmbH was founded in 2004 as a "spin off" at the University of Regensburg from the Institute for Biophysics and Physical Biochemistry. The company develops and markets innovative applications of so-called NMR spectroscopy for the medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a modern spectroscopic method based on the measurable interaction of atomic nuclei with an external static magnetic field. With the nuclear business of preventative diagnostics, the company has had a significant increase in turnover and contracts in the first half year of 2008, and been able to expand its own sustainable market position. Furthermore LipoFIT has been able to expand other business fields, as for example seed cultivation optimisation of green plants. Here NMR technology is used for substance analysis and the optimisation of grass for feeding purposes. That NMR analysis represents an economical and reliable method was recently demonstrated by the BfArM (Ministry for Medicines and Medical Products) prescribed test for the assessment of impurities in heparin products by means of NMR. LipoFIT is currently a registered external examination organisation of medicines and is thereby not only in contact with the Authority, but has also been able to gain some of the largest importers of medicines as clients.
