Stream Bio Ltd has won the highly esteemed Institute of Physics Business Start-Up Award. This reward reflects Stream Bio’s novel CPN™ technology and celebrates its entrepreneurship and excellence in innovation.

The annual Business Start-Up Award is the only recognition in the UK and Ireland that commemorates young companies who have built success on the innovative application of physics and have excellent business growth potential. Stream Bio has been recognised in this category for its successful implementation of physics into its CPN™ technology.

Stream Bio’s CPNs™, invented in the research labs of King’s College London, represent a new generation of innovative molecular bioimaging probes. These highly fluorescent, non-toxic nanoparticles are set to transform the bioimaging market with their unique brightness, exceptional stability, magnetic capability and suitability to be conjugated with a range of molecules. They currently have applications in diagnostics and therapeutics, and can potentially be used for imaging tumours and fluorescence-guided surgery.

The revolutionary CPNs™ possess unique properties that make them more advantageous for R&D and in-vitro diagnostic applications than traditional dyes and probes. These properties also make it easy to substitute CPNs™ into existing lab protocols. CPNs™ can now be purchased directly from the UK distributor 2BScientific.

CEO of Stream Bio, Andy Chaloner, said: “We are honoured to have won this award from the distinguished Institute of Physics. Our Stream Bio team have worked hard to bring this technology to the market and it is very exciting to have our innovative technology recognised in this way. The exposure that this award brings will drive the technology further and we can’t wait to see what the future will hold.”
