PolyIntell, innovative polymers for applications in diagnostic and pharmaceutical sciences and food safety

POLYINTELL was founded in Upper-Normandy (France) in July 2004 based on the skills and expertise of innovative scientists that developed a new technology based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs).
Five years of research later and five patented technologies later; POLYINTELL which counts now 12 employees in 2009 has been successful at launching 3 different categories of products under the name of the AFFINIMIPTM brand.
According to company’s CEO Kaynoush Naraghi : “Intelligent Polymers (MIPs) facilitate the entire researcher’s workflow in the lab. Therefore; POLYINTELL provides innovative solutions that satisfy the researcher’s complex needs for selective extraction, separation and detection of the molecule of interest by offering ready-to-use and high-quality products and services.”
The molecularly imprinted polymer can identify, isolate, and capture low concentrations of the target molecules in any complex mix (plasma, urine or food matrixes). The selectivity of the antigen/antibody reaction can be mimicked in simpler conditions, at a lower cost with better stability considering the fact that antibodies are not involved with this approach. The applications for the new materials are selective solid phase extraction (SPE) in sample preparations, trace analysis and biomarkers analysis, selective separation (chromatographic methods), and semi quantitative detection (probe). POLYINTELL’s know-how applies to pharmaceutical R&D and food safety, as drug candidate molecules can be detected and the presence or absence of molecules banned in foodstuffs (toxins, medicinal drugs, additives, pesticides, and so on) can be checked.
In January 2009, the company moved to PharmaParc II, Val-de-Reuil. Corporate goals are to increase its business and production capabilities. POLYINTELL is developing and growing at a steady pace which might lead to new job openings in the near future.
Based on our innovative polymers, we bring 3 solutions:
- Selective solid phase extraction columns and cartridges serving bio analyst’s needs in sample preparation, trace analysis & biomarker analysis, …
- Semi quantitative detection kits
- Purification Kit for chemical synthesis
POLYINTELL offers custom made products and services and catalogue products for selective extraction, purification and detection on a molecule of interest.
