xford Nanopore Technologies Ltd. has raised £25 million ($41 million) in new funding via
a private placement of ordinary shares in the Com- pany. The funds will support further development, external technology validation and production ca- pabilities for the Company’s proprietary technology for molecular analysis applications that include DNA sequencing and protein analysis. In addition to the development of techniques using biological nanopo- res, Oxford Nanopore has also strengthened existing projects and collaborations in the development of solid-state nanopores.
The round was funded by existing and new institu- tional and individual investors from the US and UK, including Lansdowne Partners, IP Group, Invesco Perpetual, Redmile Group, Illumina and other undisclosed investors. The Company has previously raised £49 million since its formation in 2005.
Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd is developing a novel technology for direct, electronic detection and analysis of single molecules using nanopores. The modular, scalable GridION technology platform is designed to offer substantial benefits in a variety of applications.

P articular® is a start-up company based in Hanover, Northern Germany, that produces
nanoparticles with high purity, applicational safety, and the largest material variety. Particular processes and delivers nanoparticles of virtually any material dispersed in various liquids. The innovation is based on laser ablation in liquids, which works without chemical precursors.
In this way, the company even produces nanoparti- cles from pure metals. These nanoparticles show al- most no agglomeration. Particular‘s laser technology method prevents the clumping of nanoparticles that is common in powders, as we make the nanoparti- cles electrochemically stable in the liquid.
