'Coherent Synthesis' software is a very strong concept for accelerating chemical development and attaining highly accurate results, says Personal Chemistry
The participants in this round were current investors: HealthCap, 3i, Investor Growth Capital and SEB Företagsinvest joined by MVI and SEB Fonder.
"We have established our ability to develop and market Coherent Synthesis" commented Hans Johansson, CEO, "this additional funding will permit Personal Chemistry to continue the development and expansion of Coherent Synthesis and to develop the sales and support operations within our markets.
This round of funding proves that despite the overall market conditions there is still funding available for companies that deliver on their plans.
We are very pleased that our current shareholders continue to show significant support of our business strategy and delighted that they will be joined by new shareholders: MVI and SEB Fonder." Coherent Synthesis incorporates innovative chemistry methodology, software, automation, microwave technology and reagents to speed up chemical reactions by between ten and 1000 times, often with an increased yield of the compound.
In addition to the increased speed and yield, the technology may solve complex chemistry problems that were previously very difficult to undertake using traditional methods.
