Micap highlights research Apr 2 2004

Daily Post


MERSEYSIDE bio-tech firm Micap yesterday held its first research day bringing together scientists, clients and investors.

The Newton-le-Willows company, which specialises in the microencapsulation of active ingredients in yeast cells, hosted the event at Haydock Park Racecourse.

Project managers from partners SkyePharma and flavour-fragrance house Firmenich attended, along with up to 40 scientists from Micap, its university partners and experts from the pharmaceutical, food and agricultural sectors.

It looked specifically at how the company can further develop its technology for the benefit of the pharmaceutical, food and agricultural industries.

The event came shortly after Micap announced its first licence agreement in pharmaceutical drug delivery, with SkyePharma worth more than £500,000.

The exclusive licence will allow SkyePharma to use the technology in up to 10 pharmaceutical products.

The company has recently secured more than £240,000 of research council and Dti funding.


Good to see a bit of upward movement in the last few days too !

When is the bounce coming

[chrismonty] 21/3/2004 13:51

...vernit

so DO Micap have the technology that bprg needs, to incorporate flavours liked by dogs/cats etc?
And could you see a useful link up here between the two companies?

( melly & mots could do with a Wafer Tab carrot flavoured for horses!)

Very disapointed in the company's lack of response - sent them a long e-mail a week ago about a number of technical issue and have heard zilch in reply.

[chrismonty] 17/3/2004 22:48

vernit.... yes I realise that graham Hind said that about Micap ( thank you for your transcript of the whole thing!) But he also said that he was interested in vetinary uses for bprg's applications, and if bprg can incorporate a pill into their Wafer Tab product for eg getting a dog to swallow a pill, then the whole job would be so much easier if the taste /flavour of it was pleasant for the dog.

This is where perhaps Micap have the technology for producing and incorporating a strong immediate flavour... of dog food or bone perhaps.

I also seem to remember G.Hind joking? that when dealing with animals, medicines would be much easier to administer if they tasted ok to them.

Still reckon it's a viable proposition.

chrismonty - at his interview on ADVFN, Graham Hind of Bioprogress (BPRG) had this to say of Micap:

'We meet a lot of companies – we are always looking around, the networking thing. We have had a look at some of the products that Micap do as potential as to whether they could add value to what we are doing. Acquiring the company? I am not seriously in discussions about that'.

[taurusthebear] 11/3/2004 12:38

Well, there you go - predictably walloped today! May be due a bounce from here, but then again, who'd put their faith in that? Back to 66p as per pre-SKP announcement would be nice, though... :0)

[chrismonty] 06/3/2004 15:03

bioprogress results out on monday 8th march, so if there was any substance in the rumour of a deal with Micap, would perhaps expect it to be announced then,be interesting to see?

>> banovallum..are you prepared and ready for the ride? ;~)))

[grantb1] 05/3/2004 07:11

SKP listed as a "Sell" in todays Investor chronicle.

May have a short term impact here.

Good healthy two way volume today - it looks as if for everyone keen to take a profit there is a buyer waiting to pick up the shares

Could be some good exposure here for MICAP

[grantb1] 04/3/2004 13:37

jeez, what a response from a light hearted post !!

I still couldnt care less about the CFO posting publically available information on this BB tho.

But as long as he maximises my invesment, he can spend all day chatting on "dogging" websites with Stan Collymore for all I care.

Yours,

G
