The Centre hosts companies


The Clermont-Fd - Theix Centre helps new companies to become established by hosting them on its premises. For example:

 

  • Bio-Sens

The BIO-SENS Company was founded in 1999 by Dr Catherine Thonat. This company, using an INRA licence, brought together companies involved in the following sectors: agrifood, cosmetic, pharmacology and petrochemistry, providing expertise in:

    • aroma analysis
    • fingerprint acquisition
    • olfactometry

  • BioFilm Control

BioFilm Control is a start-up hosted by the Centre of Clermont-Fd - Theix (Microbiology Research Unit - Team QuaSA) and led by Thierry Bernardi. This new company works on the development of micro-organisms in biofilms and their properties conferred by this mode of growth.

Through a new and original process, protected by an international patent, this company proposes studying the formation and the stability of biofilms generated by different micro-organisms (stemming from cell banks, mutant banks). The development of this 96-microplate kit requires very few manipulations to estimate the capacity of different micro-organisms to form biofilms.

Using this kit, BioFilm Control also works on the screening of chemical compounds, originating from the chemical compounds bank, on biofilms in order to select molecules capable of inhibiting or delaying the formation of these biofilms.

  • IDBiotech
Founded in July 2004 with the support of INRA, the company Immuno Diffusion Biotechnologies (IDBiotech), under exclusive licence (Inra-Transfert), together with the innovation of the Immunochemistry team of the Clermont-Ferrand - Theix Inra Centre (Animal Product Quality Unit). The manager is Vincent Rivera.
Immuno Diffusion Biotechnologies is specialized in the design, development, production and marketing of immunochemical diagnostic kits (radial immunodiffusion, ELISA, ...).
These kits are intended for authentification (for example specific detection of species) or quality control of raw products and transformed products, in order to meet the needs of laboratories and industries of the agri-food, pharmaceutical and veterinarian sectors.
