Prometic CEO Pierre Laurin said the deal could be the tip of the iceberg.
“We expect Octaplas’s U.S. regulatory approval to significantly contribute to our growth objectives given the overall magnitude of the American market. We believe that the added value provided by ProMetic’s prion capture technology will play a key role in the commercial success of this product,” he said.
Founded in 1992, Laval-based Prometic Life Sciences designs technology that is used to remove pathogens from blood, and extract and recover proteins from plasma.
