Distributor will supply Chirascan circular dichroism spectrometers and SX stopped-flow spectrometers to Ireland and Northern Ireland
Surrey, UK and Dublin, IRELAND, 15 October 2018: Applied Photophysics, a leading provider of systems for biophysical characterization of biomolecules, today announced that it has signed a distribution agreement with material characterisation specialist, Particular Sciences. The distributor will supply industry and researchers in both Ireland and Northern Ireland with Applied Photophysics’ Chirascan™ circular dichroism (CD) systems and SX-range of stopped-flow spectrometers. This latest agreement further expands the Company’s presence throughout the EU market, after recently signing with similarly well-established and experienced scientific equipment distributors in Italy, Portugal and Spain.
Applied Photophysics’ current product portfolio includes the Chirascan platform, which uses CD to reveal changes in the higher order structure and stability of proteins - essential in cutting-edge research and during the development of innovator drugs and biosimilars, and the SX-range of stopped-flow spectrometers, used to monitor changes in absorbance and fluorescence for gold-standard kinetic studies of fast biological reactions.
Louise Madden, CEO, Applied Photophysics, said: “The agreement to extend the distribution of our CD and stopped-flow instrumentation to Ireland and Northern Ireland ensures that our customers receive support closer to home, whilst further demonstrating our significant growth plans in order to scale-up operations and coverage as a company.”
Sean Quilty, Founder and Director, Particular Sciences, said: “For 29 years, Particular Sciences’ mission has been to maintain excellence in material characterisation technologies, and to deliver the highest quality technical support to our customers in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Now serving over 250 companies, and representing a select group of specialist companies, we are proud to provide our customers the latest characterisation technologies, such as Applied Photophysics’ new generation of Chirascan CD systems.”

About Applied Photophysics www.photophysics.com
Applied Photophysics is a leading provider of systems and accessories for the biophysical characterization of biomolecules. The Company’s SX-range of stopped-flow spectrometers, used to monitor changes in absorbance and fluorescence during fast biological reactions, is acknowledged globally as the gold standard for kinetic studies. Headquartered in the UK, with offices in Boston and Shanghai, Applied Photophysics has been established for more than 40 years. In 2005, the Company introduced the first Chirascan™ system, using the phenomenon of circular dichroism (CD) to characterize changes in protein structure and stability. Since then, the Company has continued to incorporate its in-depth knowledge and understanding of CD into a range of Chirascan products that are used in cutting-edge research and to support the development of innovator drugs and biosimilars in the biopharmaceutical industry. Compared to conventional CD instruments, the new generation of Chirascan systems ensures that every scientist gets the most from every CD analysis.
