COMPANY HISTORY
Innova's research laboratories opened in October 2002 at the Babraham Bioincubator facility, close to the historic University City of Cambridge, UK. In January 2003 Innova received a £45,000 DTI Smart award which allowed the company to develop a number of proprietary assay and proteomics products. In 2005 the company launched SpeedLead P™, a service which allows parallel testing of drugs against multiple enzymes in order to determine drug selectivity. In July 2006, the company launches its revolutionary Lightning-Link™ conjugation system, which massively simplifies and accelerates the production of protein conjugates (last updated July 2006).
