Somaserve is rated 3 out of 5 in the category nanotechnology. Read and write reviews about Somaserve. Somaserve is a uniquely positioned pharma service and specialist reagent business exploiting PolyNaut Technology to improve the therapeutic viability of molecules with poor pharmacokinetic and chemical properties and image live cells. PolyNaut Technology This is a versatile nano-engineered polymer technology for in vivo intracellular delivery. The widely diverse polymer structure is highly flexible and can accept small molecules, peptides and proteins, antibodies, nuclear material, dyes and probes. The resulting nanoparticles deliver their cargo to the interior of the cell, greatly enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of the encapsulated molecules. In addition, it is possible to functionalised the vesicle surface with targeting ligands to aid penetration of biological barriers such as the blood brain barrier. CelLuminate-specialist reagents The cell delivery technology is also successfully employed to enhance live cell imaging. The resulting CelLuminate suite of dyes have been developed to image live cells in vitro. CelLuminate has the benefit of significantly reduced cytotoxicity compared to industry standard cell imaging reagents. Cells under test can remain functional and viable for periods of up to fourteen days, giving researchers in industry and academia more time for image analysis. Precision Services The patented PolyNaut technology is also at the heart of the Precision Services offering division. Precision Services provides bespoke drug discovery and product development services to pharma and non-pharma companies for proprietary molecules, through the conduct of iterative feasibility studies and technology licence. The focus of the Precision Services division is to improve the therapeutic viability of potential therapeutic molecules with poor pharmacokinetic and chemical properties.
