Indena and Hyris have signed a strategic cooperation agreement for the development of methods dedicated to the genomic identification of botanical species, based on unique sets of reagents for specific DNA sequences (bKITs) and the use of bCUBE miniaturised, portable technology: a state-of-the-art device for the analysis of nucleic acids in any setting.
With this strategic cooperation agreement, Indena, who will also acquire a minority shareholding position in Hyris Ltd, will hold preferential access to this technology in the botanical derivatives industry. The joint development of specific identification methods, which can be used directly on-site at biomass collection sites, adds a pillar to Indena’s expertise in the traceability of its supply chain, through highly accurate genomic identification of plant materials.
