PHILADELPHIA, April 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Halo Labs
announces the launch of a novel low volume, high throughput
biopharmaceutical particle analysis system called the Horizon at
PEGS 2017 in Boston on
May 1st. The new system analyzes sub
visible particulate matter in biopharmaceutical samples to enable
for the first time rapid particle screening as early as candidate
selection and pre-formulation.
Halo Labs is currently working with leading biopharma contract
research organization Elion Labs for
system validation. "We are very excited about the Horizon
instrument," says Dr. John
Gabrielson. "Our customers are eager for sub-visible
particle analysis to be included in formulation screening assays,
which could significantly shorten development times. With the
Horizon, work that would take a week or longer with other
techniques can be completed in a day using a fraction of the
material. I anticipate the Horizon will become a must-have for
biopharma formulation labs."
"We see a big opportunity to disrupt particle analysis," says
Dr. Robert Hart, CEO of Halo
Labs. "Automation, high throughput operation and efficiency
are the way the industry is going as companies try to shorten
product development times and improve product safety. The
Horizon is targeted right at the sweet spot of this movement."
The Horizon system will be unveiled at Booth 205. Prof.
Chris Roberts from the University of Delaware will present comparative
particle sizing data of the Horizon in his talk on May 4th. Halo Labs will also present a Poster on
the Horizon at AAPS San Diego the same week. For more information
