Clearbridge BioMedics Reveals ClearCell(R) FX, Next Generation Label-free Cancer Cell Enrichment System at ASCO 2013

CHICAGO, May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Clearbridge BioMedics today revealed its next generation ClearCell® FX System, which is developed for in vitro diagnostic applications. This will be on showcase at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2013 Annual Meeting at booth number 23092, from 31 May to 4 June 2013.

The new ClearCell® FX System is based on inertial focusing microfluidics and is label-free. Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in a patient’s blood sample are separated and isolated using this novel inertial focusing spiral microfluidics in the single-use CTChip® FR. The larger and denser CTCs are separated from the other blood cells within the spiral biochip due to biomechanical differences and are subsequently focused into an enriched CTC “stream”. These cell “streams” are then channelled and collected in a tube and can be readily used for downstream molecular analysis, such as mutation testing for targeted therapies. These retreived cancer cells remain wholly intact and viable due to the label-free separation process used. The ClearCell® FX System will allow physicians and researchers to rapidly isolate CTCs for further diagnostic testing and even cell culture, paving the way for the use of CTCs in treatment monitoring and personalized medicine.

“The technology for the ClearCell® FX system was developed by Clearbridge BioMedics in collaboration with the National University of Singapore and the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) center. Our new system will subsequently be undergoing regulatory approval in the U.S. and Europe. Once approved, it will be one of the world’s first label-free CTC enrichment systems for diagnostic use. Clearbridge BioMedics believes this system will be an ideal companion diagnostic system that complements various cancer therapies,” said Mr Johnson Chen, Co-founder and Managing Director, Clearbridge BioMedics.

Clearbridge BioMedics has engaged leading product development firm Cambridge Consultants to build the ClearCell® FX system. Clearbridge BioMedics worked with Cambridge Consultants to design the ClearCell® FX System to be a robust platform, suitable for both research and diagnostic applications.

John Pritchard, Head of Diagnostics at Cambridge Consultants, said: “This has been a collaborative merging of our extensive experience in diagnostic device development and Clearbridge BioMedics’ expertise in cancer research and diagnostics — and it’s led to breakthrough technology that will have a huge impact on a lot of people’s lives. Our systems engineering approach, coupled with our skills in fluidics, software and compliance, has enabled us to work quickly and efficiently with Clearbridge BioMedics — even though we are thousands of miles apart.”

Set up in late 2009, Clearbridge BioMedics is a spin-off company from the National University of Singapore. The company’s first generation ClearCell® System, which was launched for the cancer research market in 2011, is one of the first non-biomarker based systems commercially available to detect, isolate and retrieve CTCs from blood. In early 2013, Clearbridge BioMedics raised US$7.2 million as its Series B funding. This injection of funds is being used to develop this next generation ClearCell® System. Clearbridge BioMedics is ISO13485 certified for the development of cell-based in-vitro diagnostic devices.

About Clearbridge BioMedics

Clearbridge BioMedics (CBB) specializes in novel platforms with applications in oncology research and diagnostics. It is a National University of Singapore (NUS) spinoff company that is committed to developing medical devices, which will impact the world and revolutionize cancer diagnostics and patient care, by leveraging on ground-breaking technology from research partners.

The ClearCell® System comprises patent-pending CTChips®, which are microfluidic biochips able to effectively detect, isolate and also retrieve wholly-intact CTCs (Circulating Tumor Cells) from small quantities of patient blood samples. The isolated CTCs can then be stained for identification and enumeration, or retrieved for further molecular analysis. The ClearCell® System aims to be the next generation of non-invasive “liquid biopsy” approach for cancer screening, diagnosis, staging, personalised medication, and treatment monitoring.

CBB won all top three awards at the 2012 WSJ Asian Innovation Award (presented by The Wall Street Journal in partnership with Credit Suisse), and is also the winner of the 2012 Asian Entrepreneurship Awards in Japan. In March 2013, CBB closed a Series B investment with Vertex Venture Holdings Ltd (the wholly-owned VC arm of Temasek Holdings), SPRING Seeds Capital, Clearbridge BSA Pte Ltd and Mr Lu Yoh Chie, and BioVeda Capital.

Headquartered in Singapore, Clearbridge BioMedics currently has customers spanning Asia, Europe and North America.

Quintiq Shatters Four World Records for Logistics Optimization

S’-HERTOGENBOSCH, The Netherlands, May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ —

Quintiq, a global leader in supply chain planning and optimization (SCP&O), has set four vehicle routing world records in independent benchmarks. Quintiq’s achievements have been verified and recorded by SINTEF, the largest independent research center in Scandinavia, on its Transportation Optimization Portal.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130328/606756)

Using the company’s SCP&O platform, Quintiq created optimization solutions for Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) benchmarks, which are among the most studied combinatorial optimization problems in the world. The benchmarks Quintiq targeted are the largest VRPTW instances and have the most practical relevance for business with large-scale logistics operations.

The four logistics benchmarks involve 1,000 customer delivery locations with varying delivery time windows, 100 available vehicles to make deliveries, all departing from a central depot. The four benchmarks are differentiated by decreasing the customer time windows available. For each of the benchmarks Quintiq devised routes to make all deliveries within the parameters of the benchmark. The goal of each benchmark is to generate a route plan that requires the least number of miles travelled. The routes Quintiq devised generated the least miles required for each of the four benchmarks this surpassing every prior optimization attempt.

“Finding good solutions to Gehring & Homberger’s benchmarks is a notable achievement, but to break four world records in the process is a remarkable testament to the capability and expertise we can offer clients,” commented Wim Nuijten, Quintiq’s VP of Optimization Technology. “The first world record we set was the result of a friendly internal competition between Quintiq’s experts. Following that, we wanted to continue with even greater challenges to see what else could be accomplished. The result is clear. We have yet to encounter an optimization challenge that is too large or too complex for Quintiq. Applying world-record optimization technology to a business facing a like challenge would save millions of dollars per year.”

Quintiq broke the first world record, C1_10_4, in October 2012 and then improved the results in April 2013. Quintiq went on to break three subsequent world records, C1_10_3, C1_10_9 and C1_10_10, all of which are verified by SINTEF in April 2013.

About Quintiq

Quintiq’s revolutionary supply chain planning and optimization (SCP&O) platform enables enterprises to improve efficiency at every stage of the supply chain journey. It powers end-to-end planning and optimization of personnel, resources, and processes in a single planning environment, across all planning horizons. Many of the world’s largest and most successful enterprises rely on Quintiq to achieve their business goals, strengthen their competitive advantage, and create new revenue streams.

Far East Energy Announces Spudding of 23rd Well of 2013, 2013 Frac Program Commences, And 5 More Wells Reach Total Depth

HOUSTON, May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Far East Energy Corporation (OTCBB: FEEC) today announced that 7 new wells have been commenced in the 12 days since the last 2013 drilling program update release issued on Thursday, May 16, bringing to 23 the number of wells spudded in 2013. They are production wells 62-4D, 81-1D, 81-2D, 81-3D, and 165D and appraisal/exploration wells SYSE-09 and SYE-09. Additionally five wells reached total depth (TD) in the past 12 days. These are the 62-2V, 62-1D and 104D production wells, as well as the SYW-13 and SYW-09 appraisal wells. The Company noted that the 62-2V was drilled in only 12 days.

“On the 16th, we had 13 rigs in the field; now we have 18 rigs in the field with 4 more en-route,” said CEO Michael McElwrath. “We have spudded 7 new wells in the past 12 days — a testament to our entire team on the ground and their hard work.”

Meanwhile, the Company’s 2013 frac campaign has commenced, with 16 wells now ready to be fracture stimulated, 13 of which are production wells and 3 of which are appraisal wells.

A little over a week ago, our team had 12 wells ready to frac, and that number has now moved up to 16. By the time these 16 wells are stimulated, another 10 wells will be in the queue for fracing. Our goal is to continue the frac program uninterrupted until late October or November, ultimately comprising approximately 100 wells.”

Hockert continued, “We have beefed up our capabilities in the field, adding 14 field personnel, including 5 drilling supervisors, a completions engineer, and several landmen. Additionally, a GIS mapping specialist and Land Manager have been added in Beijing. The results are reflected in the ability to spud 7 wells in 12 days.”
