2 Company profile Aromics Drug Screening Molecular Biology Pharmacology In vivo studies Proteomics Biochemistry Genomics Pharmacogenetics Cell biology Engineering AROMICS is a development stage biotechnology company founded in 2005, currently located at the Scientific Park of Barcelona (PCB). new specific targeted compound with higher efficacy & safety A diagnostic method to monitor the disease & patient response

3 Product Pipeline AROMICS is actively involved in internal & collaborative projects with pharmaceutical and biotech companies for developing new effective and safer drugs. * Our development are partially financed through European Union, National, Regional and Private funding AROMICS partners relevant scientific, technological and industrial actors for its developments in the diagnostic field, focusing on health (human & animal), agro-food and environment sectors. Active developmentLicense and co-development opportunities

4 Recognition material Electrical signal Principle : A biosensor is an analytical device capable of providing selective quantitative or semi-quantitative analytical information due to the specific biological recognition among the element/analyte of interest and the recognising element. Aromics: Projecte Mercurius Nucleic Acid Antibody Enzyme Recceptor Cell-organelle Whole cell Tissue Signal Transducers Electroactive substance Light Mass change Heat pH Electrode PMT, CCD Piezoelectric SPR Temperature sensor pH electrode POC testing: Analytical tools for the in-situ detection of pathogens by a rapid and low cost assay.

5 In-situ detection of legionella by a rapid and low cost assay in water samples. Magnetic bead-based biosensor: Immunolegio® Magnetic nanoparticles (100-300 nm) functionalized with specific Antibodies for the pathogen of interest Operational procedure Legionella pneumonia is found in aquatic habitats(potable water systems, cooling towers, heat exchanger systems). Important pathogen: Causes pneumonia. Rates of mortality: 12% in Europe. Sanitary cost in Spain: 12M€ Conventional techniques have not prevention utility Classical immunological assays take 12 to 15 days to get a result Water Automatic sample prep

6 Immunoassay trends: biomarkers are increasingly being measured at the sites of patient care, including the doctor’s office and emergency room, allowing for rapid estimates of the state or progress of an illness, and even at home, for the purposes of self-diagnosis. With respect infectious diseases, there are two important goals: prevention and focus control & propagation. The ideal immuno-analytical system does not require a complex sample procedure, is easy to operate, fast, allowing to take rapid decissions in-field and has a low cots. The system is intended to be used for surveillance purposes and to complement conventional methods. Economic impact: Growing market: at 11% a year. POC testing accounts for 35-40% of the global in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) testing market. (US$30 billion). Diagnostic testing represents between 1-2% of government healthcare expenditures worldwide and influences between 60-70% of healthcare decisions What the market requires?
