Pros
Hyglos GmbH is a biotech company located in Biotechnology Center Bernried, Munich area, Germany. Applying our proprietary technology we develop and produce highly specific bacteriophage-derived recombinant proteins for detection and removal of harmful bacteria and bacterial toxins such as Lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Hyglos has been honored with the IAFP Food Safety Innovation Award in recognition of our work in developing a new diagnostic tool for microbiologists, which has replaced and outperformed antibodies in commercially available immunoassays.
Cons
As a company, dedicated to bringing innovation into the field of Endotoxin (LPS) Detection. Our highly innovative and unique LAL-alternative assays are based on Phage Recombinant Proteins and Recombinant Horseshoe Crab Factor C (rFC), completely free from animal-derived reagents. Our methods bring excellent results to customers from biopharmaceutical research and industry, overcoming limitations of the LAL test (Limulus amebocyte lysate) which still relies on lysate from the blood of the horseshoe (Limulus) crab.
