Licensing includes consultation services, and development of custom materials where desired.

OUR PROCESS

How We Work with Partners

Step 1

Proof-Of-Concept

Partner supplies Upkara materials-of-interest. Upkara stabilizes the materials and returns for evaluation.

Step 2

Optimization

Formulation and process optimization if required with the goal of achieving commercial-spec performance.
Step 3

Prototyping

Development of working product prototypes in the partner’s preferred form factors.

Step 4

Pilot Production

Upkara produces pilot units of stabilized reagents and/or assay kits for sale to or sampling by partner’s customers.

Step 5

Commercialization

Initiation of co-manufacturing through application of Upkara’s contract manufacturing or technology transfer and licensing options.

Applications

  • Antibodies & Conjugates: ELISA, IHC, IF, FCM, FACS
  • Enzymes: Luciferases, kinases, restriction enzymes, and PCR Kits
  • DNA/RNA: Nucleic acids for gene transfer or specimen preservation
  • Small Molecules: Substrates, buffers, chelators, and reducing agents
  • Cells: Cellular contents for downstream processing or biorepositories
  • Other: Master mixes or additional biomolecules not listed

Contract with Upkara

Eliminate the cold chain, simplify packaging, and provide value to your customers.

Whether it is material for internal use by your own team or product intended for sale, we can use our technology to stabilize reagents for you and return them as simple-to-use SUReKits™.

  • Store perishable biomaterials as shelf-stable kits
  • No thawing
  • Simplified workflows
  • Preserve one reagent or create master mixes
  • A sustainable solution that reduces waste and removes the need for cold storage
