R&D TECHNOLOGY TO BE USED

As an innovation focused biosolutions provider, R&D is of great importance to oxzymes' success. Accordingly, some of our focus areas include knowledge management and employee creativity, utilization of genetic resources and others.

MAGE (Multiplex automated genomic engineering)

One of the main technologies to be used in our project includes MAGE. i.e. ` Multiplex automated genetic engineering.

The Introduction and details of the machine and its accessibility and price are discussed below:

The methods for scientists and researchers wanting to study genomic diversity and all possible associated phenotypes were very slow, expensive, and inefficient. Before the invention of multiplex automated genomic engineering, researchers would have to do single-gene manipulations and tweak the genome one little section at a time, observe the phenotype, and start the process over with a different single-gene manipulation.

Multiplex Automated Genomic Engineering, MAGE, is a new and much improved process for quick and efficient manipulations of a genome, all happening in a machine small enough to put on top of small kitchen table. It makes slight work of targeted mutations, with results in a matter of days as opposed to weeks. The machine enables researchers to make about 50 genome modifications at essentially the same time. Those mutations combine with the variation that naturally occurs during cell mitosis creating billions of cellular mutations. MAGE can target and

modify multiple loci across the genome from single nucleotides to a couple of small genes. In

2009, Church and his team were able to program the bacteria, Escherichia coli, to produce five times the normal amount of lycopene, an antioxidant normally found in tomato seeds and linked to anti-cancer properties. They applied MAGE to optimize the 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate

(DXP) metabolic pathway in Escherichia coli to overproduce isoprenoid lycopene. It took them about 3 days and just over $1,000 in materials. The ease, speed, and cost efficiency in which

MAGE can alter genomes can transform how industries approach the manufacturing and production of important compounds in the bioengineering, bioenergy, biomedical engineering, synthetic biology, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and chemical industries.

FERMENTORS:

Fermenters are huge tubs which contain bacteria inside that are kept in optimum condition for temperature and pH. A sterile condition is also maintained to enable bacterial multiplication producing enzymes as the by-products of the chemical reactions. These enzymes are then harvested and used for industrial processing of fermented products like milk and wine.

We are installing our modified fermenters we will add shakers below each fermenter. Who will do the job of vortex on large scale.

Fermenters work by providing the necessary environment so that the process of fermentation can take place successfully.

Availability:

The work of the fermenters is reduced due to the availability of the MAGE but however we still need them for mass production of our enzymes: we discussed the import of fermenters from

Europe or North America is much costly. Hence we `have found the providers in Pakistan they import fermenters at lower prices due to their connections in CHINA.

Our specifications include ~ 1000 liter fermenters.

We have found certain connections; we have also checked OLX for the deals

Prices:

The prices estimated for one 2400$ for 1 fermenter.

24000+24000+24000= 7200$ If we add additional costs:

Total estimate 8000$

Industries, the mixture of Liquid and Solid needs to be separated. The Centrifuge makes it possible very easily with the help of centrifugal force. Mainly Pharmaceutical Industries,

Chemical Industry, Engineering Industry, Pharma Formulation Industries use Industrial

Centrifuge very widely.

Industrial Centrifuge are available in Horizontal model, Vertical model, Manual Top Discharge,

Bottom Discharge, etc. Special purpose Centrifuges can be design as per your unique Industrial

Applications.

HPLC (High performance Liquid chromatography)

High performance liquid chromatography is basically a highly improved form of column chromatography. Instead of a solvent being allowed to drip through a column under gravity, it is forced through under high pressures of up to 400 atmospheres. That makes it much faster.

It also allows you to use a very much smaller particle size for the column packing material which gives a much greater surface area for interactions between the stationary phase and the molecules flowing past it. This allows a much better separation of the components of the mixture.

The other major improvement over column chromatography concerns the detection methods which can be used. These methods are highly automated and extremely sensitive.

PCR (polymerase chain reaction)

PCR (short for Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a relatively simple and inexpensive tool that you can use to focus in on a segment of DNA and copy it billions of times over. PCR is used every day to diagnose diseases, identify bacteria and viruses, match criminals to crime scenes, and in many other ways.

Electrophoresis:

Electrophoresis is a technique used to separate and sometimes purify macromolecules - especially proteins and nucleic acids - that differ in size, charge or conformation. As such, it is one of the most widely-used techniques in biochemistry and molecular biology.

When charged molecules are placed in an electric field, they migrate toward either the positive or negative pole according to their charge. In contrast to proteins, which can have either a net positive or net negative charge, nucleic acids have a consistent negative charge imparted by their phosphate backbone, and migrate toward the anode.

Proteins and nucleic acids are electrophoresed within a matrix or "gel". Most commonly, the gel is cast in the shape of a thin slab, with wells for loading the sample. The gel is immersed within an electrophoresis buffer that provides ions to carry a current and some type of buffer to maintain the pH at a relatively constant value.

SILOs

A Silo is a structure which is designed for the purpose of bulk materials storage. It may be temporary or permanent, depending on the setting. The classic image of a silo is the grain or silage silo used in farming communities to store bulk grain and silage. However, silos are used in many other settings, to hold a wide variety of things. Silos are used all over the world for storage of bulk materials in settings ranging from grain collection facilities to mines.

We are using 3 silos in our production facility:
