Cancer therapies and diagnostics group Avacta said it had entered into a license agreement with Biokit, a Werfen company, to incorporate its affimer reagents into a Biokit in-vitro diagnostic product.

'The license agreement follows an extensive evaluation by Biokit of certain Affimer reagents to detect a key analyte,' the company said.

Under the terms of the agreement, Biokit had the right to develop, manufacture and commercialise through original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners a diagnostic immunoassay for this analyte.

Avacta would receive royalties on future sales of any products brought to market following completion of product development and regulatory approvals.
