You could do worse .... but check out Cyprotex (CRX) while you are at it

Or should we simply reinvest the cash in SBS?

[bonzo] 16/7/2013 18:40

Very disappointing here, as a long term holder. However the outsourcing business is exceedingly tough at the moment, and taking a small loss for cash may not be so bad. Once the directors are committed it seems the die is cast.

[buywell2] 16/7/2013 13:26

Let us see what transpires Piedro

Perhaps you can take over and create one yourself

[piedro] 16/7/2013 13:22

buywell2,

Thank you.

This certainly seems a good deal for Source BioScience
but as a shareholder of VDN I feel disappointed - cash
13.70p and shut up !!!
Not even a share offer.

Re: the SBS bb, perhaps you could start a new one as
that available is not very pleasant.

You have been ploughing a lone furrow for many years Piedro

Your hard work has not gone unnoticed

Welcome to the SBS fold

My take is that with SBS using VDN storage facilities in the USA , and Ireland to sell SBS Life Sciences products , antibodies/clones/re-agents from their unique GenomeCube platform which is being rolled out worldwide using different language versions .... Japanese and Korean plus English thus far
www.sourcebioscience.com/our-portfolio/distributors.aspx

Also SBS have been expanding their DNA sequencing services at a pace , profits up circa 50% from this year on year .... they can now do the same from the two USA VDN bases and thus tap into the BIGGEST Pharma Biotech CRO area in the WORLD.


Plus cross selling opportunities to each others Client Lists means the 'Collective' after assimilation should be more than the sum of each of the individuals within 12 months.

Vindon will be the 5th SBS acquisition ..... Turnover for the first 6 months announced next month should be UP 30%. They are going places ..... check out the recent Institutional holdings taken in the company in the last 12 to 18 months. Some BIG names have bought in

Source BioScience makes a strong start to the year

12 June 2013 | 14:47pm

StockMarketWire.com - Source BioScience, which reported further growth and increased profitability in 2012, has made a good start to this year.

Laurie Turnbull, chairman, told today's AGM: "Demand from the NHS for our diagnostic services continues to be strong and year to date revenue has increased by over 35% compared with the same period last year.

"We remain one of only a small number of accredited laboratories in Europe with access to the technologies and expertise required to deliver complex gene-based diagnostic testing for cancer and other diseases, which affords us commercial advantage."

Mr Turnbull also commented that the company enjoyed a leading position in the UK for the provision of DNA sequencing services and remain the only company offering a UK-based sequencing service.

He added: "This part of our business will be boosted by the expansion of our service into Scotland, enabling us to offer our overnight service for DNA sequencing to the local research community.





Hope this sits well Bro

eburne1960,

We've been sold out by the board. I presume they'll be keeping
their jobs.

IMO
- Indicates that the directors have been incapable of creating
new partnerships or products - a takeover is their only option

[eburne1960] 15/7/2013 20:00

Well well well, possible offer! What do you reckon Piedro? Personally, I'll make a small loss, but it's a decent premium and the shares have gone nowhere for a long time, so I think I'll take it and move on.

Spotlight on Hackett Biologics

24th May 2013
....
Clinical trials using stem cell therapies for spinal cord injury, age-related macular degeneration, Crohn's disease, cardiovascular disease, critical limb ischemia, and multiple sclerosis have recently been publicised, but unless these stem cells can be stabilised the cell technologies can never achieve their full potential and become mainstream treatments. This means that companies will be seeking a storage and transport stabilisation product, as well as a product that can be administered into the body – stabilisation all the way from manufacture to bedside - something that Hackett Biologics' technology can provide. ....

Vindon Healthcare diversifies to support start-ups
Last updated: 2nd Apr 2013 at 09:07am
....
Ferguson told Insider the company had already started working with the University of Manchester and institutions in Leeds and Bristol.
"We are looking at setting up an incubator unit in the UK and using our knowledge to cultivate and nurture fledgling businesses such as university spin outs," he said.
"We recently appointed somebody internally to do that job specifically and have already got two or three interesting opportunities.
"It's a simple fact that many biotech businesses come from universities and we feel we're in as good a position as anybody to invest in these sort of organisations, and for them to see us as a worthwhile investor. ...
"But we're not just investing money, we're investing knowledge as well."

Vindon's California facility will provide the same ICH and custom storage services as the Atlanta facility, whilst also providing storage of controlled substances with our partner contract research organisations. Approximately 40 per cent of all public biotech companies in the nation are in California. The state is also home to more than 40 per cent of all employment in the sector and nearly half of all research and development spending in the sector occurs in California.
