Advanced Hydrocolloids
|
The following outlines information relevant to the development
pipeline for our
Advanced Hydrocolloids technology. For a more general overview
of the technology and its applications, please
click here.
Although this technology can be utilised for a number of different
product concepts, thus far we have only utilised it to produce a
range of advanced colloidal silver products.
These potentiated colloidal silver products utilise our
Potentiated Electrolysis manufacturing technology combined with
the addition of a stabiliser into the brewing process
(for more effective and efficient brewing) as well as other active
ingredients into the brewed colloid itself (for increased overall
antimicrobial, antiviral and general therapeutic effects).
Colloidal Silver Based Product Concepts
We can supply the end product directly as a pure
liquid product both to consumers and to other product manufacturers or use it to produce many other types of products
in-house, such as:
- household, industrial and hospital disinfectants;
- internal and external antiseptics and
antibiotics (including products such as acne cleansers);
- encapsulated colloidal silver gel (or
similar) for internal use (this will be for people who do not like
the taste of the liquid products, for giving more accurate dosages
and for user convenience);
- antimicrobial wound care and protection
products (including products such as adhesive dressings, bandages and aftershaves);
- antimicrobial products for operative
applications; and
- antiviral products.
These products can be produced as
creams, lotions and liquid gels. Furthermore, the products can be
made to be used as topical, ingestible or spray applications.
We have also developed a method of making many of our products
(especially our creams, lotions and liquid gel products)
approximately 6 to 8 times even more concentrated. Essentially, what
this means is that we can concentrate the silver content of 1 litre
of regular colloidal silver into a product that is around just 150 millilitres.
As such, these products can be made far more lightweight and potent
than other products on the market, thus also making
them far more cheaper to package and distribute as well as being
cheaper in price for consumers yet overall much more highly effective
(this is especially true for topical and surface applications).
Many of these products can also be combined with other relevant
active ingredients and technologies so as
to not only give specific antimicrobial and antiviral effects for
specific product concepts but, where applicable, to also give greater overall effects
in general.
Therapeutic Applications
Colloidal silver has a well established reputation as being a highly
effective antimicrobial and antiviral therapeutic product. However,
due to various economical reasons as well as the product
concentration issues we have discussed
here, there have not been any decisive clinical trials conducted
on the wide array of therapeutic uses for colloidal silver.
However, due to the vast superiority of our end products, it is envisaged that our products will have major
therapeutic benefits in relation to numerous infectious diseases.
The types of conditions we believe our products will help include
those such as: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS); Acne Vulgaris;
Gastroenteritis; Urinary Tract Infections; Bacterial Pneumonia;
Chicken Pox; Cholera; Common Cold; Influenza; Food Poisoning;
Herpes; Mumps; and Rhinovirus.
It is our belief that our products will help to not only serve the
growing concerns of resistant microbes but to also serve as a
solution for unmet needs such as food poisoning and gastroenteritis.
It is envisaged that the eventual successful outcomes of clinical
trials will help allow us to effectively market at many of our
products to doctors in hospitals, nursing homes and so on as well as
to general practitioners (GP's) and to pharmacists.
It is also important to note that we have already conducted some
initial informal in-human intervention studies of some of these
treatment areas in relation to: Acne Vulgaris; Gastroenteritis;
Food Poisoning; and General Antiseptic applications – and all with extremely positive outcomes.
Intellectual Property Protection
At present no patents or provisional applications have been filed.
However, all patent protectable intellectual property is owned solely by
BC Biogenics Pty Ltd.
Furthermore, we have conducted extensive research in the quest to
develop what we have established and in this process we have not been
able to find any patents or publications that give definitive details to the same
extent or matching of what we have established.
Overview Of The Opportunity
Industry collaboration as well as other potential means are being sought in
order to further progress the project to the stage of producing
various patent protectable and commercially viable outcomes.
Initially, toxicity and by-product testing will need to be conducted on
both the primary production method end product and the secondary
concentration end product to ensure that there are no dangerous
by-products being produced (this is standard procedure for any
product of this nature).
After this, or at the same time, antimicrobial effectiveness tests
for main concentrates will need to be conducted so as to show how
effective they are compared to other leading products. Effectiveness
tests will also need to be conducted on our other product concepts
that contain additional active ingredients so as to compare their
effectiveness against both our main concentrates and other leading
products.
Finally, we will then need to conduct a particle analysis of the
silver nanoparticles that are being produced by our production
method. This analysis would be required for both the full scale
liquid version and the more concentrated version. Important aspects
of nanoscale silver that would need to be analysed include the
particle size, the particle charge and the number of particles (that
is, the parts per million (ppm) concentration).
Once all of this has been conducted we will be seeking to file patents in target countries around the world (such as
Australia, USA, UK, Europe, India, Japan, China and so on).
We will then be looking to seek out, negotiate and secure
licensing contracts with various companies based on geographical
locations and the ability of each company to be able to adequately
manufacture and market any or all relevant product concepts.
Where required and/or where approached by investors looking to do so
we will set up our own manufacturing and distribution.
Approximated Costs
Primary:
Toxicity and by-product testing: $10-20,000
Antimicrobial effectiveness tests for main products: $5-10,000
Particle analysis tests: $20-30,000
Secondary:
Filing of all patents involved: $400,000
Implementation of licensing strategy: $40,000
We are also open to
industry partners and others who would like to
establish full scale operations in various geographical locations.
Furthermore, we are also open to
industry partners and others who would
like to conduct the clinical trials discussed and therefore generate
a return from the markets this will help to serve.
Further Discussion & Negotiation
We are actively seeking
industry partners and others to help us reach the stage of filing patents and to
develop and implement a licensing plan for this technology.
We are also open to discussion with
industry partners and others to help us further
develop and commercialise the various applications for this
technology.
If you would be interested in exploring a potential arrangement with us and this project, documentation
outlining the technological intellectual property in question can be
provided upon the signing of a confidentiality agreement.
Product samples can also be provided upon request.
If you would like to discuss a partnering or other opportunity
with us please feel free to
contact us.
