About
Neoprospecta is located in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina state, inside an innovative technology park named Sapiens Park.
About
The company has five main operational labs: Bioinformatics, Next-
Generation Sequencing, PCR & qPCR, Molecular Diagnostics and Molecular
Microbiology Lab.
All labs and office space are located in the business incubator of the Reference Center for Pharmacology.
About
Neoprospecta has native next-generation DNA sequencing capabilities through the operation of an .Illumina MiSeq system
All sequencing and sample preparation procedures are realized internally, for increased security, cost reduction and constant innovation.
AboutData analysis is carried
by a team of bioinformaticists and software developers that are constantly
refining the analytics pipeline and developing innovative software solutions for data
processing and visualization.
Besides the genomics data analysis pipeline, the company has already developed two systems for large
scale microbiome data analysis: and .Biocollector Sentinel
About
Neoprospecta has also developed specific quick molecular diagnostics methodologies using the Applied Biosystems 7500 qPCR system.
All diagnostic tests are currently performed by Neoprospecta, but soon they will be also available as .qPCR Kits
AboutNeoprospecta has
12 people in its team, with 4 PhDs and 3 MScs in fields such as
Genetics , Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics.
The founders of the company are:
Marcos Oliveira de Carvalho: CEO, PhD in Genetics and Molecular Biology
Luiz Felipe de Oliveira: CSO, PhD in Genetics and Molecular Biology
Luiz Fernando Valter: CBO, Economist
Ronaldo Mota,: President of the Adminstrative Board, PhD in Eletronic Structure of Molecules
Solutions
Neoprospecta developed a new concept in molecular analysis of micro-organisms: The Bioguardian System.
The Bioguardian is a modular system composed of molecular and computational protocols with the objective to provide accurate, sensitive and highly specific diagnostics and analysis of micro-organisms in a great variety of sample types and in large
BIOGUARDIAN
SolutionsBioguardian System
has 6 main modules:
1) Analysis and typing of all bacteria found in a sample through16s large scale sequencing
2) Full and analysisgenome sequencing
3) and analysisMetagenome sequencing
4) Antibiotic resistance gene identification
5) Quick in clinical and diagnostic of antibiotic resistant bacteriaenvironmental samples
6) Quick micro-organisms diagnostic

Bioprospecting
Neoprospecta also develop activities in bioprospecting new enzymes and peptides
from the .Brazilian biodiversity
The company has already conducted expeditions to intact regions of the , searching for new Amazon forest
molecules.
There are an in-house database of more than of 300 gigabasesnew sequences obtained through deep next-generation
sequencing of from the Amazon forest.soil metagenome
Molecules under analysis in this dataset include new enzymes and antimicrobial peptides.
