Investment boosts SpheriTech’s growth
Don explained: “The investment has enabled me to strengthen the team at SpheriTech but also allows me to apply for government funding, such as through loans or research grants. For a company like ours to get off the ground, it’s absolutely essential to secure government finance.”
Don added: “The investment has allowed improvements including the redesign of the company’s website and will play a key part in financing the development of SpheriTech’s intellectual property – for example by allowing applications for new patents to be pursued more quickly. Patent life is 20 years, so every year you take to commercialise a patent means a year’s less revenue.”
SpheriTech currently holds a portfolio of intellectual property covering a diverse range of technologies including peptide synthesis, DNA synthesis, biocatalysis and cell culture. As part of its work the company offers laboratory-based contract research and development, and provides custom synthesis of peptides and contract purification of any molecule, large or small.
