✳️ Revolutionizing drug solubility: Oryl Photonics' breakthrough in light-scattering technology 💊 Insoluble drugs are ineffective and represent a huge loss of investment. Measuring solubility or aggregation in drugs is laborious, time-consuming, expensive and a speed-breaker in R&D. The used methods have not changed in the last decades. Lausanne-based start-up Oryl Photonics, founded in 2020, simplifies solubility measurement with its patented light-scattering based instrument. 🧫 Based on proprietary nonlinear light-scattering technology, the solution saves days of repetitive work and thousands of dollars of consumable cost. Combining throughput and high sensitivity with minimal sample preparation, it provides quick and reproducible solubility data through sustainable use of resources (compounds, reagents and consumables), beyond the capabilities of #HPLC (current gold standard for solubility measurements). 🥼 A prototype of the instrument, developed by Oryl Photonics and CSEM within the Innosuisse Project EASY, has been installed at Hochschule für Life Sciences FHNW in Muttenz, in the laboratory of Prof. Martin Kuentz. Pharmaceutical and life sciences companies as well as laboratories located in the larger Basel Area will be able to test the prototype and get to know how it helps making solubility screening simpler and rapid, accurate and sensitive, while saving valuable compounds. Oryl Photonics is now also offering solubility measurement as a service, living up to their motto “solving the insoluble”. The pre-series of the instrument will be available in 2025. Oryl Photonics is a spin-off from EPFL, where the technology has been incubated over a decade of research. CSEM's team looks forward to continuing its great collaboration with Oryl Photonics and FHNW. More developments to come, so stay tuned! #solubility #aggregation #scattering #pharmaceutical 📸 (L-R) Orly Tarun, Martin Kuentz, Jitka Kalasová, Yevhen S., Stefano Cattaneo Nathan Dupertuis, David Roesel, Samantha Paoletti
