The companies say SDIX brings expertise in development of antibodies with BD&#8217;s background in building diagnostic systems.<\/p>\n<p>One of SDIX&#8217;s antibody technologies is based on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sdix.com\/Technologies\/Bacteriophage.aspx\">bacteriophage<\/a>, more commonly known as phage, which are viruses that infect bacteria with its DNA. The infecting DNA then takes over the replicating mechanisms of the bacteria.

BD will pay SDIX a $1.25 million upfront fee. In addition, the agreement provides for up to $2.5 million in milestone payments and royalties on sales of products with SDIX&#8217;s technology. Once this system is on the market, SDIX and BD plan to have a long term agreement for the supply of antibodies from SDIX to BD.<\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"http:\/\/sciencebusiness.technewslit.com\/?p=6655\">Genomic Sequencing Precisely Targets Food Pathogens<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SDIX, a biotechnology company in Newark, Delaware and BD Diagnostics in Sparks, Maryland have agreed to collaborate on the development of systems to detect microorganisms, in a deal worth as much as $3.75 million.
