The partnership marks Technicolor’s growth into
new verticals, leveraging their 105+ year history of innovation
Technicolor Precision BioDevices (TPB), a member of the creative
technology leader Technicolor (Euronext Paris: TCH, OTCQX: TCLRY),
announces a collaboration with Scope Fluidics to manufacture
cartridges for their BacterOMIC system.
Scope Fluidics develops innovative projects in diagnostics and
health care. Established in 2010, they develop solutions with a
high market potential across two core divisions: Curiosity
Diagnostics and Bacteromic.
Technicolor Precision BioDevices will provide small-scale
production of the BacterOMIC cartridges. The BacterOMIC system
provides quantitative assessment of bacterial susceptibility to a
wide range of antibiotics in a single test and is currently being
tested in three independent laboratories. The cartridges will be
manufactured in TPB’s Warsaw, Poland facility initially under a
one-year agreement, featuring a dedicated manufacturing line for
pilot and scale production, and further process optimization for
reducing the cost of the consumable cartridges.
David Holliday, President of Technicolor HES commented:
“Technicolor is a world leading provider of precision manufacturing
and related supply chain services with a long legacy of serving
media and entertainment customers, and in recent years we have been
an expanding presence in the medical diagnostic and life science
markets under the Technicolor Precision BioDevices tradename.
Technicolor will be supporting manufacturing of the BacterOMIC
cartridges from its existing production facility in Piaseczno, a
suburb of Warsaw, Poland. We’re very pleased to be collaborating
with Scope Fluidics Group for this pilot manufacturing phase.”
“This is an important factor in building the market value of
both the BacterOMIC system and the company itself. During the term
of the agreement, we also intend to negotiate the terms of our
potential cooperation in large-scale cartridge manufacturing. We
believe that in this way we will better prepare Bacteromic for the
market,” said Marcin Izydorzak, Member of the Board of Scope
Fluidics S.A.
California-based Technicolor Precision BioDevices is a certified
ISO 13485 contract manufacturer of custom injection molded
