Novaptech, a cutting-edge biotechnology laboratory !

Aptamers are oligonucleotides that bind to specific targets with high affinity.
At Novaptech, we exploit this unique ability, making them essential for medical and life
sciences research and analytical applications. Aptamers offer a genuinely advantageous
alternative to antibodies.
Thanks to their high specificity, stability under a variety of conditions and cheaper production,
aptamers are accelerating innovation in diagnostics, disease treatment and analytical
chemistry/biochemistry. Their flexibility and adaptability open up new prospects for
personalized therapies and precision medicine.

Novaptech’s close to 30 year experience in the biotech field is recognized by its in-depth
expertise in the customized selection of aptamers, the characterization of these molecules and
their innovative application in various sectors.
Novaptech’s services encompass the tailor-made development of aptamers to specifically
target molecules or cells of interest, offering key solutions for biomedical research, clinical
diagnostics and analytical applications.
Our company leverages its expertise in molecular biology, bioinformatics and molecular
biophysics to deliver aptamers with optimal binding properties that facilitate precise pathogen
detection, drug formulation and the study of complex molecular interactions.
Our personalized approach, together with our research and development department,
positions Novaptech as a privileged partner for academic institutions, the pharmaceutical,
biotechnology, edible or environmental industries wishing to exploit the potential of aptamers
in their projects.

Thanks to our expertise in the identification and characterization of aptamers for the
biotechnological development of analytical and diagnostic aptamer projects, the world of
biotechnology is undergoing a revolution thanks to Novaptech.
We excel in the selection, optimization and development of customized aptamers, enabling
us to offer innovative solutions and tests to a wide range of players in the pharmaceutical, agrifood and cosmetics industries, through our range of test kits and rapid diagnostics.

Selection and characterization of customized aptamers

At Novaptech, we have the ability to develop customized aptamers specific of a variety of
targets, whether synthetic molecules, peptides, proteins, bacteria or even eukaryotic cells.
Our expertise in aptamer selection and characterization is tailored to a wide range of needs

Aptamer optimization and development of Aptamer-based assays

Once we’ve identified an aptamer, we don’t stop there.
Our research teams carry out a rigorous optimization of its sequence, truncating it to the strict
minimum required and introducing specific modifications to improve its performance.
What’s more, we are able to conjugate it to various functional groups such as thiol, carboxyl,
amine or fluorophores, depending on the requirements of the intended application, whether for
imaging, biodetection, affinity purification or many other fields.

Structure-switching aptamers for multiplex assays

At Novaptech, we’ve taken innovation a step further by developing functional structureswitching aptamers based on our revolutionary “NOVAswitch” technology.
This approach is particularly powerful for the detection of small molecules, whether
contaminants, drugs, biomarkers or nutrients. Thanks to this technology, we can perform
multiplex tests with extreme precision and sensitivity.

Novaptech stands out as a leading player in cellular and molecular biotechnology techniques, with about 30 years of expertise in the field of aptamers.
Novaptech’s strength lies in our commitment to collaboration and scientific excellence, making us an invaluable partner for researchers and companies in the sector.

Personalized support from conception to completion

From the very start of your project, Novaptech offers you personal interaction with one of our experienced scientists. This enables us to assess feasibility, design a suitable library and tailor a selection procedure.
In addition, Novaptech guides you in defining the necessary chemical modifications and the ideal assay for your application.
Constructive feedback is provided at every stage of your project to ensure its success.

Cutting-edge aptamer technologies : “NOVAswitch”

Innovation is at the heart of Novaptech’s actions, with R&D researchers working on cutting-edge aptamer selection processes. Our “NOVAswitch” technology is a revolution that we place at the heart of our activities for the new perspectives it offers for the design of biosensors for diagnostic and analytical applications.

Fiscal support for French research

Novaptech has received certification for the French research tax credit for the years 2020 to 2024. Our customers benefit from a refundable tax credit for research and development services entrusted to our laboratory. This makes us even more attractive for research projects in France.

A strategic partnership with Eurogentec

To meet our customers’ aptamer production needs, Novaptech has established a strategic partnership with Eurogentec, a world leader in custom oligonucleotide production.
