ANP Technologies, Inc.

THE COMPANY

LogoANP Technologies is a nano/biotechnology-based company. ANP Tech's mission is to develop cutting-edge technology platforms at the nano/bio interface and apply them in market sectors such as diagnostics/biodetection, protein/drug discovery, therapeutics, chem/bio defense, and homeland security.


TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS

ANP Tech possesses two proven patented technology platforms: (a) nanomanipulation-based biological detection devices, and (b) nanoencapsulation-based protein delivery systems.

Nanomanipulation: Three commercially available products will be fabricated through this technology platform. These include: (i) handheld assays for bio-agent detection, (ii) microarrays for the diagnosis of disease and testing for human exposure to known and unknown pathogens, and (iii) protein-based microarrays for high-throughput discovery of new protein targets and drug leads.

Nanoencapsulation: Our nano-protein delivery system is capable of safely and cost-effectively delivering a variety of proteins through injection, nasal, and inhalation methods. The technology is proven superior to the existing stealth liposome and biodegradable polymer technologies in terms of cost, ease of formulation, long-term protein stability, and blood circulation time.
